Nicolas Lebas Executive Chef, Castile Restaurant FROM THE MOMENT WE ARRIVED AT CASTILE RESTAURANT in the Kimpton Hotel Zamora to interview Chef Nicolas, we felt its Mediterranean influences. Located on the Intracoastal waterway in St. Pete Beach across the street from the ocean, you feel like you’re on vacation. Our first stop was the beautiful balcony overlooking the water where a manatee had just been spotted. Castile offers comfortable outdoor seating as well as a separate rooftop bar (called 360º Rooftop) allowing you to take advantage of Florida’s beautiful year-round weather. The restaurant inside presents a perfectly romantic atmosphere. After a quick tour, we sat down with Chef Nicolas to learn more about his background and what inspires him in his new role as Executive Chef. JULY/AUGUST 2017 localsDISH 15
