Last week we learned that the French restaurant Chevalier will be closing this month in Lafayette and now Diablo Dish reports that a new restaurant called RÊVE Bistro will soon be opening in this spot, and according to the latest on their Facebook page they plan on opening next month in January.
From their Facebook page:
While cooking in famous 2 and 3 star kitchens of Paris, Paul dreamed of owning his own restaurant where everyone could enjoy fine food and service in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Most recently, Chef Paul managed the kitchens of the Mobil 5 star Ritz Carlton & St Regis hotels. Now, he brings to you RÊVE. A reality of his dream … transporting you to a Parisian bistro right in your ‘hood. A place for special celebrations or just because it’s Tuesday. We look forward to welcoming you to RÊVE.
