A guide to the newest places to eat and drink. La’ Shukran. 417 Morse St., NE. Chef Michael Rafidi always wanted to do French bistro. Long before his hit Levantine restaurant Albi and its casual cafe spinoff Yellow, he had cooked French food at Michael Mina’s RN74 in San Francisco. The idea evolved into a French bar with Middle Eastern flavors, which evolved into a Middle Eastern bistro and bar with French vibes. Now, it’s all finally come together at La’ Shukran, one of the most anticipated openings of the year. It debuts Thursday, September 19 in Union Market.
