Grand opening on Monday at Book Fare Cafe

<< Back to archives | Saturday, March 19, 2011

A really fine cozy restaurant on the mezzanine level of Village Books, Book Fare has recently been bought by Charles Claassen.  And Monday, March 21, he invites us all to - well here are his words:  “Come enjoy free food, live musical entertainment, and new products and menu items throughout the day.”

The Book Fare Cafe has no street presence.  But it does have one of the nicest views from the tables of any eatery in Fairhaven - looking over the Village Green and allowing the afternoon sun to stream in the windows.  And it is open for lunch and dinner every day of the week.  Book Fare Cafe’s menu is based on seasonal and regionally appropriate ingredients. The cafe features light fare such as panini sandwiches, soups, salads, artisanal scratch-baked goods, gluten-free treats, wine, beer, coffee, tea, and a full line of espresso drinks.

Afternoons it is very popular for meeting friends over a coffee, tea or glass of wine.  Above, Ruth enjoys a book and refreshment on a mid afternoon.

Charles was the chef at the North Cascades Institutes learning center on Lake Diablo.  He has over twenty years of chef experience and brings a fresh menu and ideas to his new restaurant. 

Book Fare is open 10am-7:30pm Monday through Saturday, and 11am-6pm on Sundays.
