Bon Ton Cafe to Reopen under New Management

Bon Ton Cafe dates back to 1877. It changed hands in March 2020, possibly the last local restaurant to do so without the influence of the pandemic.

It remained closed through the pandemic but a reopening was nearing last fall when tragedy struck. A fire broke out in September erased the progress of a thorough renovation. But its comeback was never in doubt.

The Bon Ton was purchased by Jerry Greenbaum, proprietor of Chophouse New Orleans, the steakhouse located just across the street from Bon Ton; he’s also chair of Charleston-based restaurant group CentraArchy, which operates more than a dozen restaurants around the South.
