"After more than two years of serving hybrid Filipino and Hawaiian food in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood, the restaurant closed its original location (last day in Côte-des-Neiges was Sunday, March 13) and is set to reopen in the coming weeks at Le Central, taking over the stall formerly occupied by Thip Thip; Le Central is located at 30 Ste-Catherine Street West. Co-owner Ryan Oabel said they felt they accomplished their goal of giving back to the Côte-des-Neiges community but needed to move because of rising prices and a lease coming due. The menu will remain largely intact — including chicken furikake and caldereta birria tacos — with the addition of a salad, a brunch bowl, and some cocktails, and the owners are also developing a new project called Tadhana in Westmount." - Valerie Silva
