Now we’ve got two reasons to visit Town & Country Crossing this summer. Bistro 1130 is slated to open in late July just two doors down from Eugene’s Custard, where they’ll start scooping frozen treats by mid-May.
Located at 1130 Town & Country Crossing Drive, Bistro 1130 will feature southern French cuisine in a menu designed by consultant chef Marc Felix, pictured at right. Dishes will be “from all over the south of France – from the border of Spain to the border of Italy,” said Felix, who is still developing the carte du jour. “There will also be a full bar. The wine will be very much French and American selections.”
Owner Mikki Jones-Miranne tells us that the “classy casual” restaurant has a seating capacity for 55 and another 16 to 20 for outside dining. That size is perfect for what Felix wants to do with a menu that incorporates local products and southern French flavors using citrus, herbs and olives and, he emphasized, that is not tapas-oriented. “It’s small enough that we can be authentic,” Felix said.
