La Qchara Is Opening in Melrose

A new restaurant is on its way to Melrose, and the person behind it also happens to own another eatery nearby.

The Melrose Free Press is reporting that Lorenzo Tenreiro of Coffee Tea and Me on Main Street is going to be opening La Qchara on Franklin Street, with the new dining spot featuring Latin fusion cuisine. The article mentions that the restaurant, which will move into the former Peacuddy's Café and Bakery space, will include dishes that are influenced by a variety of Spanish influences, with the focus leaning toward Central American and South American fare. It appears that the breakfast and lunch spot could be open by the end of the summer.

[October 9 update: A note on Facebook indicates that La Qchara has opened; the post says that the new restaurant has food items such as arepas, cachapas, and tortas, along with a smoothie bar and raw juice bar, and coffee, tea, and espresso.]

The address for this new spot in Melrose is: La Qchara, 506 Franklin Street, Melrose, MA, 02176.
