A new health-conscious restaurant called LB Kitchen will open on Congress Street in October, according to a license application filed with the city of Portland.
Chef Lee Farrington is opening the cafe-style restaurant at 249 Congress St. with her partner, Bryna Gootkind, who has worked in the natural products industry. That’s the location of Farrington’s previous restaurant, Figa, which closed three years ago.
LB Kitchen will serve breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday, and brunch on weekends. Its goal is to serve more healthful options, such as veggie bowls, salads and grains.
A sample menu lists a variety of “Make It Your Own” bowls consisting of a base of grains or greens, three vegetables and a choice of proteins, such as herb-roasted chicken, wild salmon, charred tofu and wild boar. There also will be a selection of bone broths, such as Thai Tomato Beef and Coconut Mint Chicken.
The restaurant will offer juices, smoothies, beer and wine.
