Your First Look Inside L'Gros Luxe's Makeover of Limon Is Here

L'Gros Luxe, the aspiring, new wave Montreal comfort food chain, released photos of its latest restaurant today, the fourth in just over a year. L'Gros Luxe Sud-Ouest, in the defunct, very troubled Limon in Little Burgundy, is now open, seven days a week. The space has experienced a total makeover and is no longer an assault on the eyeballs, from the looks of it. Gone are the trace attempts to ape and appropriate Mexican design; neon greens and reds have been replaced by more sombre, muted tones. Chihuahuas in sombreros? Mercifully, gone too, all thanks to owner-designer Alex Bastide. Have a look (all photos by Patricia Brochu).
