Nov 24, 20151 min read

The Living Room Wine Café & Lounge is officially open in the former Armitage space at La Encantada shopping center, located at 2905 E Skyline Drive.

The 3,000 square-foot space feels intimate with a large bar, curtained nooks and comfortable seating.

“The Living Room is truly the modern day neighborhood hangout; it’s a chill lounge with great food,” says Tom Kaufman, owner. “We are thrilled to bring this concept to Tucson.”

Wine is the restaurant’s pride and joy, with 35 varieties of vino and sangrias by the glass, and a list of handpicked wines available by the bottle. Happy hour specials feature an ever-changing selection of exclusive boutique wines.

If you aren’t as enthusiastic about wine, you will appreciate the full bar offering beer and cocktails.

Diners can expect a lighter, sharable menu that includes a variety of bruschetta, salads, flatbread pizzas, and sandwiches. Saturday and Sunday brunch offers healthy and hearty options, including crepes and breakfast sandwiches.

Foothills residents are sure to be pleased with a new late-night option. The restaurant is open until midnight Monday through Thursday and until 2am Friday through Saturday. Brunch is served from 10am to 2pm on the weekends.

For more information, visit Livingroomwinebar.com or call (520)308-5591.

Cafe Francais, the French bakery known for its scratch-made croissants and kouign-amann, is closing for good. Owners Noelle and Daniel Martinez announced the closure on Instagram Wednesday afternoon, ending a seven-year run that began on Tucson’s east side.

“Thank you, Tucson, for one hell of a crazy, amazing, and sometimes terrible 7-year ride. We’ve truly loved it all, the good, the bad, and the difficult.”
