The newest addition of the Antonopoulous group of restaurants (Bevo, Maggie Oakes, Mechant Boeuf…) Jacopo, has been a great success since its opening last summer.

Fugazzi Pizza is now open for lunch
Fugazzi Pizza has been a personal favourite since its opening. The power-team behind this “Brooklyn-inspired” pizzeria- with-an-attitude know what they are doing (Foiegwa, Barroco, etc.). Considering the place is always packed, the owners recently decided to open for lunch as well. Pointe Saint-Charles is welcoming more and more cool restaurant concepts, and who doesn’t want to have pizza for lunch ? Especially at Fugazzi.
