Gallery Cafe Now Open In Littleton

The Gallery Cafe shares space with Gallery 529, offering an art themed dining experience!

The Gallery Café is now open in Littleton. The Gallery Café is a new restaurant offering delicious food in an art themed venue. Sharing the space with Gallery 529, which opened in 2014, the Café offers lunch, dinner, and Sunday Brunch.

The Café is managed by Westford resident, Elizabeth Greenslade, and the chef is Don McHale of Chelmsford. Neither is unfamiliar with the building, which previously hosted Tres Amici and Ken’s American Café. McHale briefly worked for Tres Amici, while Greenslade worked at Ken’s American Café. Built in 1830, the rambling old farmhouse has so much character and ambiance, that it captures the warmth and charm that epitomizes New England, and creates a second home for many who walk through the doors, while calling others back.

The new restaurant complements Gallery 529, with which it shares the space. The handmade tables have the images of artwork of famous American artists epoxied in the face of the table, and there are coloring pages on the tables with colored pencils. One can enjoy a glass of wine while perusing the art scattered throughout the building.
