Brodeto, the highly anticipated Croatian restaurant from Raleigh's James Beard-nominated chef Scott Crawford, opens Friday.
Why it matters: Brodeto is the first of several new restaurants set to open by the acclaimed chef, whose restaurants Crawford & Son and Jolie are among the most popular in Raleigh.
- It is also the flagship restaurant for the recently finished Raleigh Iron Works development — which features hundreds of apartments and several restaurants, shops and offices.
Dig in: Brodeto's menu explores dishes found throughout homes along the Adriatic Sea (one of Crawford's favorite places to visit and conduct culinary research) — including squid ink risotto and Croatian lamb peka.
- The restaurant itself is named after a fish stew that is popular in Croatia.
- Crawford's menu includes small plates, like sardine toast and coal-roasted mussels, pastas and rice dishes, and seafood and meat entrees, like a whole roasted branzino and a wood-roasted pork chop.
- Desserts include olive oil cake and house-made gelato.
What they're saying: "This is a dream project — and another very personal restaurant for me — to be recreating the flavorful, ingredient-driven coastal cooking my family and I fell in love with on the Adriatic Coast," Crawford said in a statement.
Location: 2201 Iron Works Dr., Raleigh
Hours: Daily, 5pm-10pm
