"Opening in Laval later this month, I understand Westwood will be located adjacent to the Place Bell hockey arena and concert venue. Its food offerings will center around a grill showcasing meat and seafood, with some east Asian influence (Japanese is most likely given Park’s focus at his Westmount restaurant) and raw options; a sizable bar program is expected, with the venue functioning as both restaurant and bar. The project will be led by chefs Renaud Letellier (stepping over from Bouillon Bilk) and Pinou Thong (from Park), with A5’s Josianne Beaulieu acting as general manager. Prominent designer Zebulon Perron is creating a restrained, minimalist space to fit the glassy cube building that will house the restaurant. Park previously invested in Kampai Garden and Jatoba but has generally played a hands-off role. Expect it to open in mid to late September." - Tim Forster
