After months of silence, new signs of life are coming from the former Kraverie spot on 24 Mercer Street. New Portuguese eatery Eira will be taking over the space.

Eira is sister site to neighboring Broa, which is located across the street at 297 Grove Street. However, Eira will be a different concept. Whereas Broa is a full restaurant with dinner service and a seasonal menu, Eira will be a bistro/cafe focusing on breakfast, brunch, and lunch. (There will be no dinner service at Eira).

In terms of food, you can expect to see items like Bolas de Berlim Mini (above), a Portuguese donut with a cured egg yolk filling and topped with a dusting of sugar. A lunch option at Eira will be the Sopa de Cenoura com Pepitas. It’s a carrot soup with coconut milk, homemade cured pumpkin seeds, and roasted pine nuts.

Eira is expected to open “in a few short weeks.” You can follow Eira on Instagram for updates and more previews of the food.
