Openings, openings, openings (and one closure)! This week, San Antonio reaches into an international grab bag to put French, Ethiopian, and health-conscious cuisine on the table while saying goodbye to a promising young concept. We'll get the bad news out of the way first — the departure of a food hall favorite.

Openings and closings

One of Make Ready Market's founding concepts has thrown in the towel. Pescado Bravo announced the closure of its food hall kiosk via an Instagram statement. Though the business did not give a reason for the shutter, it did offer hope for a revival. The seafood-focused street food joint wrote, "Stay tuned for new adventures ahead."

Oh là là! San Antonio's prolific Empty Stomach Group is opening a French bistro in the former home of Hands Down at 1012 S. Presa St. Petit Coquin's website and Instagram profile are now live, but include no details on the menu or opening date. The name roughly translates to "little rascal."

The former home of Saucy Birds, née Sangria on the Berg, is also enjoying renewed joie de vivre. As first reported by MySA, Amen Cafe is now serving customers at 5115 Fredericksburg Rd. It's unclear when the Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant first debuted, but its first social post went up in early January.

Project Pollo founder and Shark Tank star Lucas Bradbury has a new brainchild. According to a release, the entrepreneur will soon launch a new concept, EVO, at 2501 Nacogdoches Rd. The fast-casual concept, set to arrive in March, has a cross-cultural menu focused on conscious consumption. The bowls, wraps, and flatbreads eschew seed oils, artificial dyes, and high-fructose corn syrup.

Lion & Rose's on-and-off-again relationship with Alamo City is on again. After a "sneak peek" and two soft opening engagements, the British Pub is finally set to officially reopen in the upcoming days. The bar has been a part of the local scene since 2004 but shuttered for good in 2021. In a Facebook comment, a rep said only a few point-of-sale system tweaks stand in the way of a full opening at 23330 I-10 in the Dominion.
