Gentleman Farmer Chef to Open Restaurant on Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene

A reader told us well-regarded Lower East Side restaurant Gentleman Farmer is opening an outpost at 378 Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene. A quick check of Building Department records revealed that, indeed, chef and owner Karim Nounouh is behind a recent filing to restore the former cafe and candy store to a restaurant.

The space was previously Huey’s Chueys. Nounouh is known for turning out creative variations on classic French cuisine such as curried escargot from a tiny kitchen. We’re looking forward to this new venture. GMAP
