AKA Bistro Is Coming to Lincoln

A beautiful Boston suburb just west of Route 128 that has little in the way of restaurants is going to be home to a new French bistro and sashimi bar this coming spring.

According to the Lincoln Journal and Wicked Local, AKA Bistro will be opening at the Mall at Lincoln Station on Lincoln Road, bringing with it a restaurant manager and a chef from the Boston restaurant scene. Christian Touche and Chris Chung from Back Bay dining spots Clio Restaurant and Uni Sashimi Bar will be collaborating on this casual new restaurant that may be opening by March. [March 26 update: It looks like AKA Bistro will be opening on Monday, March 29.]

A press release sent to us by Barbara Quiroga and Associates states that Chris Chung, who recently received the 2009 Boston Rising Star award, will work as executive chef while Christian Touche will supervise the front of the restaurant, and another chef will be brought in to focus on the French fare. The press release also mentions that AKA Bistro will be the first dining spot in the Boston area to serve Kindai tuna (farm raised from the egg) from Japan.

The Lincoln Journal article says that AKA Bistro will serve both lunch and dinner, as well as brunch on the weekends.

Presently, Lincoln, Weston, and several other rural communities west of Boston have relatively few dining options, with Lincoln having no full-service restaurants at all that serve dinner.
