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.
Meridian Energy s generation manager, Guy Waipara, has said it was “100 per cent” behind the scheme, which aims to capitalise on Southland’s cheap, renewable power and its cool climate. The power company has agreed to provide 100 megawatts of electricity, or about an eighth of the peak output of the Manapōuri hydro scheme, to power the data centre.
