Louisville is getting a new restaurant — and it's right next door to the AC Hotel NuLu.
It’s called La Bodeguita de Mima and comes from the Olé Hospitality Group.
According to a commercial alteration filing with the city, the restaurant will be located at 725 E. Market St. The property is owned by Creation Gardens, Inc., which purchased the two-acre area to bring AC Hotel by Marriott to NuLu.
“We’ve had that lot forever and we just couldn’t figure out what to do with it,” said Ron Turnier, president and chief financial officer of Creation Gardens. “We thought we were going to be the nucleus of NuLu back when we bought the property in 2009 — we thought we could drive people there. But we sat on the property for a long time and NuLu developed without us.”
Eventually, the company decided to bring a boutique hotel to property and broke ground on AC Hotel NuLu in 2017.
There are two buildings at 725 E. Market St. next to the hotel, and Turnier said Olé will use both.
The first is the 6,288-square-foot building that was built in 1911. It was previously Neurath & Underwood Funeral Home and it features a large front porch facing Market Street. The secondary building is 4,059 square feet and was formerly Ghyslain on Market, which closed in early 2017.
In between the two structures is a courtyard, which will be used for al-fresco dining, Turnier said.
A media relations representative for Olé said more details about La Bodeguita de Mima will be available in the coming weeks.
Olé Hospitality Group, founded by Chef Fernando Martinez, also owns El Taco Luchador, Steak & Bourbon, Guaca Mole Cocina Mexicana and Joe’s Older Than Dirt restaurants.
