Michael Mina Opening The Bungalow Kitchen at Belmont Shore

January 28, 2021

Award-winning chef Michael Mina and hospitality veteran Brent Bolthouse are thrilled to announce their first joint partnership with the opening of The Bungalow Kitchen. The new social dining experience and community clubhouse is set to open at Belmont Shore (2nd & PCH) in early 2021, followed by a Tiburon (5 Main Street) location in Marin County, in the Spring of 2021. 
 
The Bungalow Kitchen will bring a chic and bohemian atmosphere, California Cuisine heavily inspired by local, seasonal ingredients, a classic cocktail program and expansive wine list to both unbeatable waterfront destinations.  Menu highlights include pristine shellfish served either ice-cold or hot charcoal-grilled; garden “punch” bowl, featuring crunchy, ice-cold garden vegetables served with Gazpacho shooters and three dipping sauces: Green Goddess, romesco and lemon-poppyseed; a comforting Short Rib ‘Pop-Tart’ topped with crispy shallots and drizzled with sauce bordelaise; signature house-made pizzas such as the Carbonara Pizza white pie with Crispy Guanciale, Yukon Gold potatoes, Pecorino Romano and drizzled with a poached farm egg; and Chef Michael Mina’s signature decadent Lobster Pot Pie featuring a whole Maine lobster, truffle-lobster bisque and root vegetables.   
 

“Brent is a longtime friend of mine,” says Mina. “We are so excited to collaborate on our first brand new restaurant concept and to utilize his deep roots in the industry with the launch of The Bungalow Kitchen. Both restaurants will highlight my version of California cuisine and emphasize the incredible bounty and purveyors of the regions in which they are in.  Our goal is to bring a warm and comforting place that will feel like an extension of the living room you always wanted.”
