Opening Soon in the Neighborhood: Autre Monde Cafe & Spirits

Thanks to Becca over at Live Here Oak Park, I read an enticing intro of our newest neighborhood restaurant: Autre Monde Cafe & Spirits.

I drove by tonight and it’s not open yet, but the restaurant’s Facebook page announced that it passed its inspection and plans to open this weekend.

Time Out’s recent article describes the restaurant as having Mediterranean influences “a casual trattoria-like setting, a seasonal menu of share plates made of minimally manipulated ingredients, and an eclectic and affordable wine list, mostly sold by the glass.”

Plus, the chefs are planning a greenhouse. They’re considering growing leaf celery, heirloom tomatoes, squash blossoms, Padrón peppers, garlic chives and/or possibly French breakfast radishes.

Can’t wait to give this a try.
