Evan Richardson, chef/owner of Eaux in Portland, is planning to open a small cafe in the food neighborhood that’s developing in the Knightville neighborhood of South Portland.
Richardson closed Eaux temporarily in November while he searches for a new location for the New Orleans-style restaurant. Meanwhile, he hopes to open Cafe Louis at 173 Ocean St. in March. The new project, he said, is a creative outlet that will allow him to provide work for his employees and introduce his culture to the Portland-area food scene. Cafe Louis will focus on breakfast and lunch to start, then add dinner on weekends.
