Located in Greenville, a new, trendy restaurant called the Community Canteen has stepped onto the scene. This unique eatery presents an exciting concept by combining Asian and European culinary delicacies under one roof.
The new spot on the northern edge of downtown Greenville opened on August 2nd. It has taken up residence in a space previously occupied by another restaurant called World Piece Pizza. Cheng Yap, the seasoned entrepreneur behind the renowned Sushi Murasaki, has brought this captivating idea to life.
The canteen’s design splits the space into two separate sections. One part, focusing on takeout, serves delicious sushi, tataki, and Malaysian-styled ramen. On the other side, diners can enjoy a cozy, traditional sit-down dining experience featuring European classics such as jägerschnitzel, spätzle, and currywurst. Harald Schmidt, the restaurant’s manager, shared his excitement about this innovative blend. He claimed that despite their differences, the flavors from the two continents come together in a surprisingly harmonious synergy.
While remaining true to the space’s former aesthetic, the team has made several notable alterations. The cafeteria-style section that was once decorated in darker tones now features a captivating mural and hanging lights at staggered heights. On the other side, warm brown tones adorn the walls and custom-made tables provide for a comfortable dining experience.
Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Schmidt manages the European dishes along with the bar. The bar brings another touch of diversity, serving “anything but domestic” beers, a selection of wine, cocktails, and apéritifs like the French pastis and Spanish vermouth, paying homage to Schmidt’s time in Madrid. He also expressed hopes of expanding the European side of the menu to include treats from all over the continent.
Community Canteen is at 109 W. Stone Ave, opening at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, 11 a.m. from Wednesday to Saturday, and then at noon on Sundays. The flavors of the world are now available on your doorstep, making it a must-visit spot for all food enthusiasts in the region.
The inventive idea of the ‘Community Canteen’ is not just about serving two varying cuisines under the same roof. It is about creating a place where people can gather, share, and enjoy a mix of cultures through the medium of food. This concept, combined with a relaxed and warm atmosphere, is set to give Greenville’s dining scene a noticeable boost.
