Tiara Cafeacute; to Open May 22

Tiara Cafeacute; will open to the public May 22 in The New Mart building in the Fashion District of downtown Los Angeles.

The cafeacute; will operate daily from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. A market, also planned in the same 9th Street location, will open in the coming weeks, said Sharon McKenzie, general manager for the restaurant. Eventually, the restaurant plans to open for dinner as well, McKenzie said.

Tiara Cafeacute; is a venture by Fred Eric, creator of the popular Fred 62 diner in the trendy Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Tiara will feature an eclectic mix of grilled entrees and international cuisine. Eric intended to open the restaurant last month but was delayed due to permit issues, McKenzie said.

Tiara Cafeacute; is at 127 E. 9th St. For more information, call (213) 623-FOOD.Robert McAllister
