A Canadian upscale dining chain is gearing up to expand into two major American cities.
Vancouver-based Cactus Club Cafe will open its 34th and 35th locations later this year, bringing its chef-driven “modern Canadian” food and beverage offerings to Boston and Miami. The two locations will mark Cactus Club Cafe’s first in the United States, while a third restaurant in Houston is on the horizon.
The chain will open a 10,000-sq.-ft. restaurant in Boston’s affluent Back Bay neighborhood later this year. Cactus Club Cafe’s first U.S. location will be within 500 Boylston St., a 1.3 million-sq.-ft. mixed-use building. The Boston restaurant will have space for more than 325 people across main and private dining areas in addition to a lounge and an outdoor patio.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring Cactus Club Cafe to Boston,” said Cactus Club Cafe president Andrew Latchford. “Back Bay is a vibrant neighborhood that aligns perfectly with our vision for modern dining — timeless, social and stylish.”
Meanwhile, in Florida, Cactus Club Cafe will open its second U.S. location in Downtown Miami at Citigroup Center – an 810,000-sq.-ft., 34-story tower.
“Miami’s energy and style align perfectly with the Cactus vision for elevated everyday dining,” said Latchford. “The city’s energy and passion for exceptional hospitality make it the perfect home for our first Florida location. This marks an exciting chapter in our U.S. expansion, alongside our upcoming openings in Boston and Houston.”
