The ambitious, upscale grocer and bistro complement to Le Richmond is under construction at 333 Richmond in Griffintown. Partners Luc Laroche, Paul Soucie and Ertan Eren posted a Facebook album today of the work in progress. Photos show off the vast, industrial 6,000-square-foot retail and restaurant space. Management describes it all as a mashup of "an Italian cuisine-inspired bistro" and "a selection of nearly 2,000 products imported from Italy and local produce." A central island will serve as a prime focus, with displays of privately imported wines, cold cuts, cheeses, and an antipasti bar for sit-down or takeaway. Marché Le Richmond is expected to open by the end of the month.
