Mediterranean Cuisine to Longmont’s Main Street District


LONGMONT, Colorado — Located in the heart of Longmont’s
Main Street District, Red Cedar Bistro is set to open its doors in
late Summer 2024, offering a fresh take on Mediterranean
flavors. The restaurant promises an intimate dining experience,
accentuated by local farm sourced, scratch-made dishes and a
curated selection of art.

About the Restaurant
Red Cedar Bistro combines the culinary expertise of award
winning Executive Chef Larry Shore, with his extensive
background in Mediterranean cuisine, and the artistic vision of Sandy Shore, who curates the
restaurant’s rotating art exhibitions. Larry’s love for the culinary arts was evident from a very
young age, reminiscing, “I want to be a cooker man,” a declaration he made at just six years old.
The bistro’s atmosphere will be crafted with a palette
of antique copper, dark woods, and vibrant teals,
providing a warm welcome to diners. The menu will
feature a range of Tri-Regional Mediterranean-inspired
dishes, including options for brunch, lunch, and dinner.
Menu Highlights include Classic Gyro on house-made
flatbread, Lamb Bolognese with homemade pasta,
Catalan Branzino, and the best Sausage and Pepper
Sub you’ve ever had! The restaurant also offers an
enthusiastic happy hour with great deals on craft
cocktails and small plates.

Made with Authenticity
“Growing up in a family where home cooking was the way of life, I developed a love of
scratch-made food, sharing creative food cultures with friends and family,” shares Larry. This
foundation in authentic, homemade food is at the heart of what Larry and Sandy envision for
Red Cedar Bistro. After years of being unfulfilled by chain-style and fine dining establishments,
they aim to provide a better dining experience by offering outstanding food at affordable prices.
Indulge Your Palate & Artistic Soul
After graduating from Michigan State with a Fine Arts Degree, Sandy pursued a passion for
creating and admiring art. “When Larry and I decided to open our first restaurant, we both
insisted on supporting talented local artists. I will be curating the artwork to hang, including oil,
acrylic, pastel, watercolor, mixed media, marquetry, and more,” says Sandy. Downtown
Longmont’s up-and-coming scene was the perfect location to integrate an extensive
Mediterranean cuisine with pieces of art from Colorado artists. Diners will be surrounded by a
visual tapestry of colors and varieties of mediums that will rotate several times a year and will
be available for purchase.

Special Features
With a commitment to quality, community, and creativity, Red Cedar Bistro is eager to become a
staple in Longmont’s dining scene. The Shores invite everyone to join them in making Red Cedar
Bistro not just a restaurant, but a destination for food lovers and art enthusiasts alike.
Upcoming Offerings
Outstanding food at affordable prices is just the beginning of what Red Cedar Bistro has
planned. Regional wine dinners from Italy, France, & Spain, live demo painting by local artists,
food, art, and wine festivals, and Special farm-to-table dinners will all be featured in the near
future!

Red Cedar Bistro is located at 516 Main St, Longmont, CO 80501. Larry and Sandy Shore invite
the community to experience a blend of art and dining in a cozy, vibrant setting. For more
