A Nobu dining experience by internationally famed chef-restaurateur Nobu Matsuhisa will debut Oct. 18 at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa in Manalapan.
Featuring Matsuhisa’s trademark traditional Japanese cuisine employing contemporary Peruvian ingredients, 65-seat Nobu Manalapan at the oceanfront resort will occupy space formerly home to a bar, terrace and 12-seat sushi eatery.
“Nobu is part of the next era of Eau Palm Beach ,” Eau marketing director Michelle Phillips told the Daily News on Tuesday. “It takes our culinary offerings to the next level.”
The Manalapan resort “is the perfect location” for a new Nobu, Matsuhisa said in a prepared statement, adding that he was “excited” guests at Eau and area residents can soon “enjoy our acclaimed Nobu menu.”
There are dozens of Nobu-branded locations around the world.
That a Nobu is opening at Eau Palm Beach — which for 10 consecutive years has been rated with five stars by Forbes Travel Guide — isn’t a complete surprise; the Daily News in August speculated that one might be coming to Eau .
