A notable and toothsome debut in Bal Harbour is Aba, part of the Chicago-based restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You. Aba, which has two other locations, in Austin and Chicago, brings a fusion of flavors from Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and Greece with a menu curated by Top Chef alum CJ Jacobson and a mixology program designed by Liz Pearce featuring rare Mediterranean-inspired wines and spirits. Aba is located in the Bal Harbour Shops on the ground level near Saks Fifth Avenue.
