YP fave Origin has a new sister in happening Liberty Village. Chef Claudio Aprile’s second location opened just a couple weeks ago at 171 East Liberty Street, bringing the same chic approach to tapas and after-work drinks as the first.
The space boasts the same blackened interior as Origin’s King East outpost, with cool accents like a suspended installation of red gun cut-outs, and a vibrant fuschia wall snatching your attention as soon as you enter. The bar is centred in the room with seating all-round, perfect if you’re just looking for a drink and some quick bites.
The menu is similar in style to the first establishment, but has a bit more Latin flare mixed into the Asian fusion; like a tostada section added to the menu. A focus on raw dishes is still apparent, and some patron favourites will see themselves on the new restaurant’s menu as well.
Considering it’s in a converted gun factory, we aren’t biting the bullet when we say Origin in Liberty Village is a must-try spot for West End YPs.
