Montreal-based artist David Umemoto created sculptural ceramic works specifically for the space and Toronto design studio MSDS custom-crafted light fixtures. Chef-partner Patrick Kris helms Evangeline’s menu of snacks and small plates. Charcuterie, chips & dip, ‘nduja-stuffed olives with halloumi, shrimp cocktail and freshly shucked oysters are among the offerings, in addition to craft cocktails, such as the Hummingbird, Punch Lafitte, Meiji Restoration and the non-alcoholic Good Vibes Only.
Evangeline is open Wednesday to Sunday from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., with food service available until 12 a.m.
