With fashion cuisine flair, the new White Horse Fashion Cuisine offers everything from delectable small plates to mouthwatering steaks and fresh seafood at its location near the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. With stunning, Old World charm and delicious meals, White Horse Fashion Cuisine (3401 Equestrian Club Drive) serves unique flavors in a chic setting that makes it the perfect place for dinner, a date or enjoying drinks with friends. Owners Dustin Parfitt and Juan Gando are the minds behind several other fashion cuisine restaurants in Wellington, including Oli’s Fashion Cuisine, the Grille Fashion Cuisine and the Seahorse Fashion Cuisine. Parfitt said he and Gando were approached to bring their unique flair to the White Horse. “We were asked if we would take over and open one of our restaurants here,” he said. “We’re really excited to be here and offer some great food.” Currently open for dinner, Parfitt intends to expand, offering brunch and other events for guests. “We plan to have some nightlife, too,” he added. The giant shrimp cocktail is one of many tempting items from the raw bar.

The restaurant is simply beautiful — a mix of traditional charm and clean, modern lines. The large space is divided into several gorgeous rooms, including a lounge area, dining room, bar and patio. Dark wooden doors and a large bar anchor the space, while the crisp cream-colored walls, white linens and blue accents give the space a fresh, light feel. Guests can enjoy a spectacular waterfront view as they dine, choosing from a table or high top. The lounge area is filled with modern, comfortable furniture in tones of blue and gray that encourage guests to grab a drink and kick back with friends. “We wanted it to be a modern space with touches of the Old World, traditional elements that have been here for years,” Parfitt said. The space is also perfect for equestrians looking to unwind after a day of riding, or those wanting to catch a hunter or jumper For something with a little kick, try the sriracha deviled eggs.
