DADA

The restaurant Dada opened in Delray in 2000 inside the Tarrimore house (built circa 1924). It’s one of the oldest historic homes in Delray Beach and is listed as a historic site. The eclectic interior and revolving artwork compliment the creative cuisine, which is sustainably sourced. As followers of the Dada/Surrealist movement, we have strived to create an environment that is original, unique, and forces us to step outside the box. Dada is non-conformist; It allows our food, atmosphere, and staff’s artistic license, so to speak, to explore beyond the normal convention.
