Ribbon-cutting today kicks off restaurant’s grand opening
The new merged restaurant of sorts that we told you about five weeks ago is launching a two-week grand opening celebration with a ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. today, June 2.
The new Artisans Cafe at 47 S. Springboro Pike in the International Village near the Dayton Mall is the second location for its owners, Joe and Pam Heitz, who have teamed up with Akram Fadel, owner of the Taste of Mediterranean restaurant, in the new venture, which combines parts of both restaurants’ menus. The couple operate the original Artisans Cafe in the Randolph Plaza on North Main Street in Clayton in addition to the Miamisburg location.
The new Artisans Cafe’s slogan is “Where the Mid-east meets the Mid-west,” and a news release refers to the new restaurant as “a dining ‘Mecca’ for meat-eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians.” The menu includes falafel, hummus, kabobs, whole-wheat pizzas and whole-wheat wraps, and the restaurant includes an artists’ gallery and will host live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
The hours are Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (closed Sunday). For more information, call (937) 434-9140.

Well McRib, I feel very McSorry for you. You must lead an extremely boring life. Why with the name McRib I’ll bet that you only eat at McDonalds. That’s not what I call living.

I liked “Taste of the Med” as it was - an authentic Lebanese restaurant. Now, Kibbee is no longer on the menu. Don’t like the change….

Does this mean there is no longer a buffet at Taste? I feel very sorry for you, McRib.

Artisan’s has some great specialty offerings - love their wrap and burrito with Thai sauce. Haven’t eaten much Mediterranean - look forward to trying it.
