St. Armands restaurant reopening in January with new concept

A longstanding restaurant on St. Armands Circle will reopen with a new name and fresh concept in 2025, offering dining from breakfast to dinner. What has been known for 50-plus years as French-inspired Cafe L’Europe will become The Café on St. Armands, a Mediterranean eatery with a coffee and to-go component, including alcohol delivery service.

Starting in January, The Café on St. Armands will serve Mediterranean dishes with a focus on small plates and seafood. Menu items will be inspired by French, Spanish, Greek, Italian, North African and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Going from the widely-known Cafe L’Europe, which suffered major storm damage this fall, to a new concept is something of a bold move in an industry like hospitality that values consistency and tradition.
