Ludo Bites by Ludovic Lefebvre, a former chef at Bastide, is at a temporary location at a place called Breadbar. It is a new phenomenon dubbed pop-up restaurant, and as with others of its ilk, it really doesn’t exist; you can’t find it in directory assistance, it has no address, and it might be somewhere else tomorrow, so you can’t really make a reservation for the following night. This type of operation cuts down costs providing lower costs for all, although many chefs and customers cannot deal with such an impermanent situation but for those who can, it opens an underground selection a layer beneath the mainstream restaurants, usually featuring a talented chef that may provide an extraordinary experience, on both sides of the stove.
