Double The Flavor

Fans of Avocado Grill can now enjoy Executive Chef Julien Gremaud's culinary creations in Palm Beach Gardens thanks to the recent debut of a second location in Downtown at the Gardens.

"The opening of AG2 has been a long time coming," says Chef Gremaud, who also owns the restaurants. "We are excited to bring North County diners a taste of what our West Palm Beach patrons have enjoyed for the last few years. We love the fresh South Florida air, and this location has plenty of it."

Avocado Grill's flagship location in West Palm Beach has become a staple on the dining scene, featuring small plates of seasonal, locavore-driven fare; specialty ceviche; a full raw bar; and an expansive farm-to-table menu.

The new 4,200-square-foot location offers 140 seats and an open, airy feel thanks to high ceilings and doors that open onto the outdoor dining area.

The menu show-cases many of the same tantalizing favorites as the original venue as well as new flavors, such as the Seared Scallops, with Thai lemongrass broth, carrot, red pepper, beech mushrooms and Thai basil, and the Blow Torch Salmon, with cucumber, jicama mango and charred green onion sauce.

Happy hour highlights the restaurant's sophisticated collection of wine, beer and signature libations. Guests can enjoy drinks like the Avocado Margarita or the fan-favorite Kiwi Basil Mojito, with Bacardi superior rum, fresh kiwi, agave, basil, lime juice and a splash of soda.

Avocado Grill is located at Downtown at the Gardens, 11701 Lake Victoria Gardens Ave., Palm Beach Gardens. For more information, call 561-766-2430 or visit avocadogrillwpb.com.
