New steak and fondue: Boca’s Little Chalet opens
A new Boca Raton restaurant, The Little Chalet (485 S. Federal Highway, 561/325-8000) features Executive Chef Ferrin Koplan with his signature dishes: steak, salmon or chicken, among others. And then there are the fondues. The fondues include filet mignon, chicken, pork, vegetables and cheese, of course. Oh, and a dessert fondue with Lindt chocolate, developed by owner Ricky Marcellini. The Marcellini family will donate 100 percent of all dessert fondue sales through Nov. 15 to Spirit of Giving’s 15th Annual Holiday Gift Drive. The Little Chalet is open Monday through Saturday, from 5:30 to 11 p.m., with happy hour Monday through Friday from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
