What's New On The Street
With so much going on we want to make sure we give a shout out to everyone's favorite fine dining establishment Juniper Dining Company for moving into their beautiful new space across the river!
We also want to welcome the new kids on the block Tora Sushi Paris as they moved into Juniper's old location... and the reviews are fantastic on their blend of Korean and Japanese flavors!
2Rivers got an amazing facelift thanks to new managers Calen and Danielle, who also happen to be the owners of Crazy Canuck Smokehouse in Brantford. Live music is still on the menu along with some new BBQ options you don't want to miss, and for all our Ramona fans (and there are a lot of you) she will still be putting in appearances now and then - when she isn't out on the water!
Turning to in the north end of town, we welcome back Scott's Family Restaurant but with a twist! Don't worry they are still serving up classic breakfast specials but for late lunch and dinner they have added their take on Indian Bistro Cuisine, and it is delicious!
And last, out Rest Acres way, Paris just opened another Indian restaurant called Zynnia and it looks beautiful.
So many restaurants, we truly are blessed in our small town to have such a great variety! Cheers to every restaurant owner and chef in Paris who make going out with our friends and family so amazing - thank you!
