Champagnes Kitchen expands

Champagnes Kitchen was bought by Matt and Winnona Tobey in 2021, and the couple has led a multi-year push to modernize the bistro, deli and catering concept before expanding.

(whatnow.com)) The restaurant’s official site is advertising the Huntington Beach opening and includes a “Join Our Team” page specifically recruiting for a Huntington location. (champagneskitchenoc.com)) Champagnes’ Newport Beach flagship originally opened in 1989 and is regularly described by local tourism and business listings as one of the city’s longest-running delis. (visitnewportbeach.com)) The Newport location participated in OC Restaurant Week this spring and lists regular hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. with full dinner service beginning at 4 p.m., indicating the company’s existing daypart model it’s likely to replicate.
