A new restaurant, Canal Street Café, will open Monday, July 18 at the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee, replacing the shuttered Locavore, which opened in August 2014 and was named a Top 30 restaurant in 2015. Chief Operating Officer Rodney Ferguson said, “We are listening to our guests and feel that this restaurant will better serve the tastes of our guests. We are confident the new restaurant will exceed our guests’ wants and needs and provide the menu and service they are looking for.”
Former Sous Chef Oscar Vega Medina has been named chef at Canal Street Café. He joined the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino staff in March 2015. Medina completed his culinary training in Irapuato, Mexico, and previously worked at Simple Café, Motor Bacchus and Ristorante Bartolotta’s.
The new cafe will have a Milwaukee theme highlighting local food, atmosphere and sights, Ferguson said. Breakfast options will include eggs Benedict, build-your-own omelets and cinnamon-raisin French toast. Prices will range from $6.95 to $15.95.
Lunch and dinner options will include burgers, sandwiches and specialty entrées such as spaghetti and meatballs, shrimp scampi pasta and meatloaf. Prices will range from $3.95 to $18.95. All menus are available online.
Canal Street Café hours will be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
