Just Opened: Rhum Corner
When it was announced earlier this year that Hoof Raw Bar/Hoof Cafe would be no more, foodies were in an uproar. That was quickly quieted, however, with the announcement of a new Jen Agg-helmed spot, Rhum Corner. Inspired by her husband’s island heritage, Rhum Corner is a Haitian-style resto-bar with a small but special menu, and, of course, rum cocktails.
Just Opened: Olde Towne Oyster Bar
If you’re planning on making a trip to Lucien for dinner, you might find yourself a bit confused by the new moniker. Olde Towne Oyster Bar is the new incarnation of the restaurant, located at 36 Wellington Street West. The new spot sports a seafood-centric menu, perfect for after-work drinks and networking thanks to tapas-style dishes.
Just Opened: The Scullery
At 200 Carlton Street, you’ll now find The Scullery, a cafe/bistro hybrid that’s serving up delectable bites of bliss. The small new spot has an equally small menu of rotating dishes, ranging from soups to sandwiches to salads and mains. On the weekends, you can pop by for a tasty brunch menu with offerings like huevos rancheros and house-made scones.
