Sundy Village Restaurants in Delray Beach: What's Open and Next

Sundy Village is opening in stages, and the corner of Atlantic and Swinton is where downtown Delray Beach can watch it happen. Barcelona Wine Bar has been seating tables since January. The other announced restaurants are arriving on their own schedules through the fall, with full campus completion targeted for late 2026 or early 2027.

Sundy Village is a seven-acre development from Pebb Capital, designed by Gensler, and it delivered its first phase last September with 100,000 square feet of Class A office space, 30,000 square feet of retail and dining, and 268 parking spaces below ground. It was already 88 percent leased by the time it got its certificate of occupancy. For anyone deciding where to eat this month, the practical question is which kitchens are serving today. As of late September, Barcelona Wine Bar is the one confirmed open, and the rest of the lineup is rolling out in stages.

Barcelona Wine Bar, Open Since January

Barcelona Wine Bar opened at 22 W. Atlantic Ave on January 17, the first full-service restaurant to seat a table anywhere on the campus. Executive chef Javier Narváez, who ran the brand's Miami location before crossing over, prints a new menu daily rather than locking in a fixed lineup, though a core of dishes stays in permanent rotation: jamón and Manchego croquetas, patatas bravas, boquerones, and several paellas built for sharing rather than solo plates. The wine list runs more than 400 bottles, with about 40 available by the glass, which is an unusually deep pour list for a restaurant that's had less than a year to build a cellar.

Barcelona has now been in service for more than eight months, which makes it the established neighbor for the restaurants still finishing their buildouts around it.

Drinking Pig BBQ Is Next in Line

Drinking Pig BBQ is the next announced opening. The barbecue operator, known around Miami for oak-smoked meats layered with Caribbean and Asian influence, was targeting a September opening at the same Atlantic Avenue address. The menu leans into Jamaican brisket patties, jerk chicken, coco bread, smoked sweet potato, and collard greens, a lineup pitmaster Raheem Sealy built a following on before bringing it north.

The target was September, and a confirmed opening date hadn't been announced as of this writing. Checking the restaurant's own channels before heading over is the simplest way to know whether the smokers are running.

Four More Concepts on the Way

Behind those two, the rest of the announced lineup has yet to publish opening dates. Double Knot, the Japanese izakaya from Michael Schulson's Schulson Collective, has a menu built around sushi, sashimi, and robatayaki, with a 10-course tasting menu that includes a duck scrapple bao bun and a cheesesteak bao alongside grilled branzino and hamachi ceviche. Its opening date has been listed simply as TBD.

Maman, the all-day French café founded in SoHo by Elisa Marshall and Benjamin Sormonte, has leased space inside one of the campus's restored cottages. It's the same bakery whose chocolate chip cookie landed on Oprah's Favorite Things list in 2017, and it is expected to add breakfast, brunch, and casual daytime dining to a campus whose first restaurant opens in the afternoon. Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is set to fill the dessert slot. And Delray Beach Craft Brewing is taking the most distinctive address on the property: the restored Cathcart House on Swinton Avenue, a 1903 structure with a wraparound balcony, which will give the west side its first taproom inside a preserved historic building rather than new construction.

Here is the lineup as of late September 2026:

Six restaurants are announced and one is open. A mixed-use campus this size fills in over time, and checking each restaurant's status before a visit keeps plans simple.

The Sundy House Reopening Comes Last

The Sundy House is the piece of the campus with the longest timeline. The Sundy House, built in 1902 as the home of Delray's first mayor, John Sundy, has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992. It's being restored as the campus's centerpiece and southern anchor, the property that gives the whole seven acres its name. Pebb Capital's Todd Rosenberg told the Palm Beach Post the goal is to bring food and beverage back into the house, which was for years one of the neighborhood's most recognizable dining rooms before it closed. The target for that reopening, along with full completion of the rest of the campus, is late 2026 or early 2027.

The restored house is expected to open alongside full campus completion, so the campus fills in over the coming months, one restaurant at a time.

Atlantic Avenue Kept Its Own Calendar

None of this has paused what was already running on the rest of the avenue. Old School Square's Cornell Art Museum opens Blooming in Color, a show of work by Marleen De Waele-De Bock, on October 1 and keeps it on view through January 24. That's running alongside River of Grass, a fiber-based installation from twelve artists exploring the Everglades, in the same galleries. Old School Square sits at the same intersection of Atlantic and Swinton as Sundy Village, and both exhibits run on the museum's own schedule.

The Witches of Delray Bike Ride returns for its 15th year on Saturday, October 24, starting at 8 a.m. at Delray Beach City Hall. More than 300 costumed riders typically turn out, decorating bikes as brooms and riding a route down Atlantic Avenue and through Pineapple Grove with a police escort, raising money for Achievement Centers for Children and Families. The event has raised more than $223,000 for the nonprofit since it started, and the route follows Atlantic Avenue, the same street where the new restaurants are opening.

Downtown Delray now runs two calendars at once. The events at Old School Square and along Atlantic Avenue continue on their usual seasonal schedule, and Sundy Village adds restaurants as each one finishes its buildout. For dinner at the Atlantic and Swinton corner this month, Barcelona Wine Bar is open, Drinking Pig BBQ is the next to watch, and four more concepts follow.
