Morningstar Bistro is opening its doors this Monday with free crepes or a specialty coffee to celebrate the restaurant emerging from its annual winter hibernation.

There will also be raffles. The festivities start at 10am and go through to 3 pm. To get a freebie you must be one of the first 50 people through the doors.

“The floors have been refinished, the place is sparkling. We are ready to go,” owner Myriam Friedman told us recently.

"I am really excited about the re-opening. It's going to be good to catch up with friends and people we haven't seen for a while."

Myriam, who recently returned from Paris, says she is “toying with the idea of tweaking the menu“, with some French inspired dishes. But rest assured all of the classics Morningstar is known for will still be on the menu.

In July and August the restaurant will have new hours -- opening at 7 am -- so summer fans can get their caffeine buzz and breakfast earlier. (Good news for one Yogini we know who has an early start!)
