Poulet Bleu, Pork & Beans, täkoÌ, and Meat & Potatoes

Coming Soon
Mediterra Café
The Mt. Lebanon space left empty by modern-American eatery Fairlane will not sit vacant for long. In late fall, popular bakery, cafe, and market Mediterra Café, will take over.
The family-owned bakery’s new location will feature its beloved artisan breads and pastries, along with menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Unlike Mediterra Café’s first space in Sewickley, the Mt. Lebanon expansion will carry a liquor license and plans to serve cocktails and wine after 5 p.m. 292 Beverly Road, Mt. Lebanon. mediterracafe.com
Coop de Ville
For three years, the Richard DeShantz restaurant group has been teasing one of its newest concepts, a Southern-inspired joint named Coop de Ville. The restaurant has finally been given a somewhat-firm opening date, and is planning to launch a coffee bar and take-out window towards the end of September. Arcade and bowling lanes will follow in October. 2305 Smallman St., Strip District. coopdeville.com
