Le Petit Triangle Not Long for this World?


Say goodbye to Le Petit Triangle Café (1881 Fulton Rd., 216.281.1881, petittrianglecafe.com) as we know it. The beloved Ohio City eatery is expanding, perhaps giving rise to Le Petit Triangle Plus Rhombus Café. Okay, so there are no ill-fated name changes planned, but diners can expect a whole new footprint. “We took over the next-door spot,” explains owner Joy Harlor. “It was a peaceful takeover,” she promises. The old Kimo’s Sushi space will add another 30 seats to the mix, key for those busy weekend nights and Sunday brunches. The two spaces will connect through a large passageway near the rear of the restaurant. “The original space will become more bar-like,” adds Harlor. Look for seats to wrap all the way around what was the small exposed kitchen. A new prep kitchen next door will free up considerable space while affording Joy the space to bake more in-house pastry. Look for a mid-summer unveiling.
