Fig + Farro, the vegetarian restaurant slated for Calhoun Square in Uptown Minneapolis, has set an opening date.

When Fig + Farro (3001 Hennepin Ave. S.; Minneapolis; MNfigandfarro.com) rolls out the carpet Jan. 24, expect a menu of global comfort food with plenty of options to share.

The spot is open for lunch, dinner and brunch. Entrees range from $6 to $14. During a recent preview event, favorites were a wood-fired goat cheese with elderberry compote, vegan mashed potatoes with gravy flight and vegan chocolate cake.

As far as the drinks menu is concerned, wine on tap, local brews and craft cocktails will be available.

Owners Michelle Courtright, an entrepreneur whose resume includes a design agency and the FLOCK co-working space, and Thomas Dambrine, co-founder of Bean Sprouts Cafe, share a passion not only for food, but also the environment and reducing food waste.

The first-floor space, in the former home of Figlio and most recently the Italian restaurant Parella, has been done up with fresh paint, plenty of communal tables and vintage accents.
