Adrian's Restaurant in North Truro Has Closed

A popular Cape Cod restaurant that was the site of a 2011 pop-up dining spot created by a couple of Boston folks has closed its doors for good.

Wicked Local Wellfleet is reporting that Adrian's Restaurant on North Truro has shut down after being in business for 28 years. The article states that the husband and wife who were behind the place--Annette and Adrian Cyr--have decided to "end this chapter in our lives and begin another," with future plans being unknown at the time, though Annette says that they would "love to combine food and education in some way."

Last summer, Adrian's hosted a pop-up restaurant from the same folks (Will Gilson and Aaron Cohen of Eat Boston) who have been behind Boston-area pop-ups at the Mizu Salon in the Back Bay, the Boston Center for Adult Education in downtown Boston, Taza Chocolate and Bloc 11 in Somerville, and Mohr & McPherson in the South End. The New York-based Big Gay Ice Cream Truck also set up shop there last summer.

The address for this now-closed dining spot on the Cape was: Adrian's Restaurant, 535 U.S. Route 6, North Truro, MA, 02652.

Big Gay Ice Cream Truck to Have Pop-Up Shoppe at Adrian's in North Truro, August 19

An ice cream truck based in New York City is going set up a pop-up ice cream shoppe on Cape Cod this month, and it will actually be located at the site of a pop-up restaurant.

An email sent to us indicates that The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is going to be having a pop-up ice cream event at Adrian's Restaurant in North Truro on Friday, August 19 from 1:00 PM until the ice cream runs out. Adrian's website mentions that the shoppe will be offering several toppings for their soft-serve ice cream, including wasabi pea dust, Nilla Wafers, Dulce de Leche, and olive oil and sea salt. Information on the event can be found below:

The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck started out in New York in the summer of 2009, and has since been profiled by the New York Times, the Village Voice, Vanity Fair, The Food Network, Travel Channel, and others. Their website can be found at http://www.biggayicecream.com/

The pop-up at Adrian's (which is called Eat @ Adrian's) first started out in May of this year, and is a summer-long venture offering nightly dinners with the focus being on fresh, locally sourced foods. More information can be found at http://adriansrestaurant.com/

The address for Adrian's is 535 W Route 6, North Truro, MA, 02652.

Will Gilson Leaving Cambridge's Garden at the Cellar, Working on New Pop-Up Restaurant in Truro

A well-known Boston-area chef who has recently been involved with several pop-up restaurants is going to be leaving the Cambridge restaurant he has been at for the past several years.

According to an article in The Feast, Will Gilson is planning to say goodbye to Garden at the Cellar on Mass. Ave., an gastropub located between Harvard and Central Squares. The article states that Gilson is looking to focus on other ventures, including a large-scale pop-up restaurant at Adrian's Restaurant in Truro that he and Aaron Cohen of Eat Boston will be involved with from May through October. The Feast also mentions that Gilson may have at least one other major project in the works after the pop-up restaurant closes for the season.

[May 23 update: According to Eat Boston, the new pop-up restaurant at Adrian's in Truro will be opening this Thursday (May 26).]

Will Gilson and Aaron Cohen have been involved with a number of pop-up restaurants over the past several months, including ones at the Mizu Salon in the Back Bay, the Boston Center for Adult Education in downtown Boston, Taza Chocolate and Bloc 11 in Somerville, and Mohr & McPherson in the South End. Another pop-up is going to be taking place at the British Consulate-General on Broadway in the Kendall Square section of Cambridge a bit later this month.

Gilson will stay on at Garden at the Cellar for a few more months before passing the torch to the sous-chef at the restaurant.

Garden at the Cellar is located at 991 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, while Adrian's Restaurant is located on Route 6 in North Truro.
