The family that runs Cafe Mosaics, a Whyte Avenue eatery known for its coziness and vegetarian comfort food, is set to open a new restaurant just east of the downtown core.

The Moth Cafe will open in the former home of the Trang Tien Vietnamese Restaurant at 9449 Jasper Ave. later this month.

Like Cafe Mosaics, The Moth will serve plant-based food with an emphasis on raw and nutritious ingredients. Menu highlights include a Banana Blossom Miso Soup, raw pasta dishes and a Kombucha bar.

Thanh Lu and her daughters Jillian Khuong and Khuyen Khuong secured the location a year ago and started renovations in June. Khuyen Khuong, who has a master’s degree in architecture, designed the restaurant’s interior, adding an arched doorway and an inviting lounge area in the cafe’s northeast corner. Cafe Mosaics staff chipped in, too, with Haylee Fortin designing the Moth’s logo and Sara Trimmer making hanging ceramic lights for the space.
