Clementine, the new restaurant from lauded chefs John and Elise Russ, has introduced lunch service Tuesday-Friday, 11:30 am-2 pm. The curated menu includes light dishes perfect for mid-day as well as heartier fare such as a “chalupa” with edible flowers, bacon, carrots and aioli; a grilled cheese on buttered sourdough; and roasted chicken thighs with fennel, onion, romesco sauce, fried skins, and a roasted cauliflower salad.
Revolucion Coffee + Juice has a new location in the works at 300 E. Houston St., the former home of chef Andrew Weissman’s Moshe’s Golden Falafel. The coffee house and juicery will open its doors sometime in April.
April will also bring a second San Antonio location of Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar to 11075 Highway 10. The Louisiana-based franchise with a sporty theme serves comfort snacks like waffle cheese fries, cheeseburger sliders, and onion strings alongside Cajun-influenced mains like blackened chicken pasta “alfredeaux”, crawfish étouffée topped with crawfish tails (or “etou-ways”), and classic fried oysters.
