General Food, Dining and Nightlife News
Re: The Berlin (copied from a post in the Facebook group: Food In The Waterloo Region)

"The Berlin becomes THE RICH UNCLE TAVERN MAY 2018

Redesigned space and menu will focus on hearty fare and craft beverages in a rich, charming and sociable atmosphere inspired by the brasseries and taverns of yesteryear.

The Berlin restaurant will close May 14".

And from another post in the same group ...

"A brief reflection on the impending closure of the Berlin in KW.

Breaking news: The Berlin in KW to close, and the “Rich Uncle Tavern” to take its place.

The beloved Berlin in Kitchener Ontario will close May 14th to be re-born by the end of the month as “The Rich Uncle Tavern (@richuncletavern).” The “re-designed space and menu will focus on hearty fare and craft beverages…inspired by the brasseries and taverns of yesteryear.” The culinary team of Chefs Ben Lillico and Brian McCourt will remain at the helm of the new enterprise which remains at the heart of the Ignite Group’s burgeoning culinary cluster that includes the Red Circle and the Graffiti projects at the Catalyst building in Belmont village as well as other projects that may be in the works.

The closure of The Berlin, reflects the difficulty of keeping a fine dining restaurant going in a region that is accustomed to “hearty fare” (and portions)! One can only hope the new direction, and the apparent energy of the IGNITE Restaurant Group Canada, will allow culinary talents like McCourt and Lillico to flourish, while continuing to build a portfolio of interesting culinary destinations and the reputation of Waterloo Region, something The Berlin did in spades."
