New Mediterranean Food Restaurant To Open In West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A growing national food chain specializing in Mediterranean food is coming to West Hartford this year.

Spitz Mediterranean Street Food is planning to open a new restaurant in West Hartford, marking the brand’s first location in Connecticut and the northeast.

Most of the chain's eateries are located in the South, the Midwest, and the West Coast.

The Town of West Hartford Department of Economic Development announced the news this week on its Instagram page.

Spitz will open at 138 Park Road, the former site of Plan B, an upscale burger restaurant that closed last summer.

According to the announcement, Spitz West Hartford will feature a menu of Mediterranean and Greek dishes alongside American classics.

The restaurant is named after the vertical broiling method for proteins and offers wraps, salads, gyros, wings, and fries.

The meat served at Spitz is halal certified.

The restaurant also plans to offer a vegan menu, gluten-free options, a children’s menu and Paleo and Keto selections.

A dog-friendly patio is planned, and the bar will feature a rotating selection of craft beer, wine, and sangria.

Local entrepreneurs are working to open the franchise. An opening date has not yet been announced, but the restaurant is expected to debut later this spring.
