New Adelaide & Van Ryder Chef and Menus
Located in Le Meridien & Element Salt Lake City, Adelaide restaurant and Van Ryder rooftop bar have launched new menus, under the direction of new Executive Chef Daniel Horn.
Adelaide has unveiled an elevated breakfast, weekend brunch, and all-day menu. Guests can enjoy a hearty start to their day with dishes like the Bayou Biscuits and Gravy featuring a house-made Old Cheddar Biscuit topped with country sausage gravy; or the Adelaide Eggs Benedict with Creole-spiced maple-glazed ham steak with two poached eggs stacked high on an English muffin and Champagne hollandaise sauce. New specialty drinks include the Lavender Matcha, featuring a hint of vanilla syrup and topped with a fluffy lavender cold foam; and the Coconut Ube Latte made with Illy Espresso with signature Ube flavor and coconut milk.
Weekend brunch introduces shareable starters like the Cornmeal Cauliflower Poppers drizzled in Buffalo-inspired gastrique. New sandwiches and salads include the Bayou Bánh Mì with andouille sausage, spicy pickled vegetable slaw, chipotle aioli, and cilantro on a brioche bun alongside a Cajun Shrimp & Avocado Wedge Salad with chilled Cajun-spiced shrimp, fresh avocado, crisp Iceberg, bacon, bleu cheese, and pickled red onion. Larger entrées include Surf & Turf, featuring apple cider-glazed pork belly and scallops with corn maque choux and roasted pepper gastrique; Sweet Potato Jambalaya featuring a Creole-spiced stew of sweet potato simmered with long-grain rice, red beans, bell peppers, onion, celery and tomato; and Tasso Ham Carbonara featuring fettuccini folded into a cream egg yolk sauce with smoky Tasso ham, sweet English peas, and smoked parmesan cheese.
A refreshed lunch and dinner menu includes a File-Crusted Half Chicken atop a creamy garlicky stew on fingerling potatoes and spinach, and a wood-grilled Prime Ribeye 12-oz Steak alongside creamy Yukon gold mashed potatoes, broccolini, and au poivre sauce and herb butter. Exclusively after 5:00 PM, guests can also enjoy the Adelaide Seafood Boil for Two featuring shrimp, mussels, clams, catch of the day, corn on the cob, and potatoes in a Pho-inspired broth.
To finish, Adelaide offers new desserts like Bread Pudding with whisky-soaked raisin-caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. Cocktails include Golden Rebellion crafted with High West Bourbon, peach liqueur, honey syrup, and lemon juice.
Breakfast is available from 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM daily. Weekend Brunch is served from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. The All-Day Menus are served from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM daily.
Silverside Deli Relocating in Sugar House
Silverside Deli is preparing to relocate from its current Sugar House location to a larger restaurant on Highland Drive. The move will provide approximately 50 percent more space while allowing the neighborhood deli to remain in Sugar House.
Since opening in 2023, Silverside has earned a following for its chef-driven sandwiches, house-made soups, salads, and rotating specials. The expanded restaurant will feature additional seating and a larger kitchen to accommodate growing demand while continuing to serve the deli’s existing menu.
Owners hope to open the new location in August, pending approval of a city proximity waiver required under Utah liquor laws. State law generally restricts restaurants from obtaining or transferring a liquor license if the business is located within a certain distance of a community location, such as a school, church, park, playground, or library. Because Silverside’s new location sits across from Sprague Library, Salt Lake City must first approve the waiver before the restaurant’s liquor license can be transferred to the new location.
JD Flannel Donuts Opens at Foothill Village
Foothill Village has welcomed JD Flannel Donuts, the California-based donut and coffee company, to its first Utah location. The shop opened in June as part of the shopping center’s ongoing redevelopment, bringing a new breakfast and coffee option to Salt Lake City’s East Bench.
JD Flannel serves made-from-scratch raised and cake donuts, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, avocado toast, espresso drinks, specialty coffees, fresh juices, and grab-and-go breakfast items. The Utah location joins several new businesses arriving at Foothill Village, with Magnolia Bakery and Zao Asian Café also expected to open later this year.
The addition is part of a broader redevelopment of the shopping center that continues to expand its mix of dining and retail offerings.
