Deconstructing the Dish: No Fish, No Problem
Boca Raton’s culinary scene is on the rise, thanks to innovative chefs like Pushkar Marathe, who has brought a taste of the world to his Midtown Boca concept, Stage. Despite being Indian himself, Marathe’s restaurant is not rooted in traditional Indian cuisine, but rather a fusion of flavors from around the globe. Read more at BocaVibe.com.
Stage’s menu boasts an impressive array of international dishes, including Korean barbecue ribs, duck confit rolls, and green chickpea hummus. Patatas bravas, a Spanish tapas favorite, also makes an appearance. Marathe takes his Indian heritage in a new direction with his take on butter chicken masala and coconut curry.

One of the standout features of Stage is its commitment to showcasing local products whenever possible. When Marathe visited Naga Gardens in Loxahatchee and saw endless rows of lychee trees, he knew he had found inspiration for a unique dessert. During a memorable dinner with legendary Peruvian chef Gastón Acurio, Marathe declared that there were no rules for making ceviche.
