A brand new restaurant called The Dinghy Deli is looking to debut at the pier in Redondo Beach, located at 160 International Boardwalk.
The new eatery will join several other restaurants already on the pier, including El Cinco De Mayo, A Fish & Friends, Kona Koffee Company, Pier Bakery & Churros, and more. Owner Rashel Mereness tells What Now Los Angeles she hopes to open the new business with Randy Lafaye and Jose Raygoza by the end of 2022. Mereness was unable to provide any additional details. Based on the name, customers can likely expect a variety of sandwiches and other grab-and-go options.
This will be a perfect spot for the new restaurant, considering the pier has over 30 dining and drinking options. Anyone visiting the pier will find a variety of fresh seafood served in Cajun, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, and Thai styles, as well as a traditional American bar and pub fare. Now, with the addition of The Dinghy Deli, there will be even more options. The only similar eateries in the area are the Redondo Beach Coffee Shop, Portside Cafe, and Charlie’s Place.
While the exact menu items are unknown, the trio of owners recently applied for a liquor license, so customers can expect a variety of alcoholic drinks if approved. This has been a long process for the owners, who have worked on this restaurant since at least last year. When the new eatery opens, it will move into the former home of Polly’s on the Pier.
