Clancey’s Is Opening with a New Menu in the Former Grand Cafe Space | Eater Twin Cities

"After Kristen Tombers, owner of Linden Hills butchery and sandwich shop Clancey’s Meats & Fish, bought the former Grand Cafe in the 1926 building at 3804 Grand, I learned Clancey’s will open a larger Grand Avenue location on November 1 with an expanded menu. In the mornings it will serve breakfast sandwiches, coffee, to‑go snacks, small dishes and desserts, while evenings will offer a rotating dinner menu with hot entrees plus new stews and soups; alongside the classic sandwiches, soups and deli meats expect new plant‑based dishes and a planned beer and wine program so customers can linger in a proper dine‑in seating area (the original Upton Avenue location will close). Tombers says they’ll honor the space’s history—the Grand Cafe opened in 2006 and was later reimagined as a vintage Parisian bistro under Jamie Malone and Erik Anderson—by keeping the original flooring, the gorgeous high ceiling, and even some of the dishes that Dan and Mary Hunter might’ve shared." - Justine Jones
