A few more details about the place that is opening in the now-closed City Grille: it’s called Bistro 24. (This is a project from Stefano Coppola of Lupa.) The chef is Pierre Mangé (how’s that for a last name for a chef?), formerly an opening sous at Contigo, a lead line cook at SPQR, and a sous at Chow. The new contemporary American comfort menu (with some international and Mediterranean influences) will include 10–15 small plates ranging from $5.50–$11, plus main dishes. Look for a rotating menu of dishes like lamb sliders, grilled oysters, and mac and cheese, all made with quality and sustainable products. The wine list is getting revamped, with up to 50 international wines, and 15–20 by the glass. The place is also getting repainted, with new artwork, and candles on the tables. The opening should be around July 1st or so.
Also in Noe Valley: a La Boulange will be opening in the Noe Valley Pizza space, probably late this fall. No word on when Noe Valley Pizza will close since it’s hard to tell when permits will go through. I spoke with Bay Bread’s Thomas Lefort, who mentioned they are going to be putting some outdoor seating and benches on the sides of the corner building.
