It’s been a very busy summer in the Montclair restaurant scene.  So here’s a quick wrap up of the events!  

Late spring, had a lot of interesting foodie news concerning Church Street – specifically what was happening at 12 Church Street.  First, Market, the picket fenced, organic restaurant tried to reinvent itself as The Honest Dog.  About two weeks after the opening, the honest dog “had run off” and Cheryl and Greg Spinelli stepped in to open the space as a tapas restaurant, creatively named, Tapastry, in the space. 

In May, Cilantro, a new Mexican restaurant opened at 537 Bloomfield Avenue opened.

June was relatively slow on the restaurant news front and saw only the closing of Sesame, a Chinese restaurant,  on Bloomfield Avenue.
