Mariani Out, Cho In

The gossip mill was in overdrive last summer with whispers of a Le Caffè Mariani ouster and refurb by the Joe Beef crew. That, however, was never a realistic possibility. And so, months on, change has come to the corner of Notre-Dame Ouest and Sir George-Étienne Cartier in the form of Cho.

The new spot fuses "French culinary techniques to Asian-style tapas." No menu online as of yet but preliminary photos evince a mishmash of comfort cum hangover food.
