Thank you for your continued faith in Chez Panisse as we move forward into the next phase of rebuilding after the fire on March 8th.
The big question, of course, is: When will Chez Panisse reopen? Right now we are feeling confident that the middle of June is a realistic opening for both café and restaurant. We had considered whether it would be possible to open the café earlier with construction still going on, but have decided to complete all construction work before opening. This will allow the builders unfettered access to the building without having to open the café on a daily basis—which would have slowed their work considerably.
We will re-open our reservation phone lines on Monday May 27th at 9am. On-line reservations through our website and Open Table will begin the following day, Tuesday May 28th.
We feel very fortunate to have such a passionate and motivated community behind us, and extend our thanks to the many individuals and businesses who have so generously offered their support in the cleanup and restoration process. We are all looking forward to reopening for the summer!
With all our gratitude,
Alice and the Chez Panisse family
