A new Mediterranean restaurant is preparing to open its doors in Fort Lauderdale near the intersection of East Las Olas Boulevard and Southeast Sixth Avenue. Elba will open at 600 SE Second Court, offering a pasta-forward menu drawing from various cuisines of the Mediterranean.
“It’s going to be house-made pasta,” Christophe, who owns the restaurant, told What Now on Tuesday. “And it’s going to be a Mediterranean restaurant, with influence from Greece, Morocco, the South of France, and Italy.”
Elba’s space on Second Court will feature a large indoor-outdoor bar with seating for a total of 150 guests. There will be Happy Hour offers, weekend brunch, and live music.
Asked for a projected opening date, Christophe estimated mid-May.
Launching near Fort Lauderdale’s thriving Las Olas culinary community, Elba will join food and drink concepts like Hof’s House of Sweets, Big City Tavern, and Pan’e Dolci Italian Bakery. A Howl at the Moon location is also slated to open in the same building sometime later this year.
