Santa Barbara’s<\/a> Tyger Tyger – the Funk Zone\u2019s favorite Asian-inspired cafe Re-Open Thursday, November 17<\/p>\n

The Lively Neighborhood Cafe Returns with a Bold New Menu<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Santa
Santa Barbara’s Tyger Tyger – the Funk Zone\u2019s favorite Asian-inspired cafe Re-Open Thursday, November 17<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Acme Hospitality<\/span><\/a> announces the relaunch of <\/span>Tyger Tyger<\/b>, the Funk Zone\u2019s favorite Asian-inspired cafe. Opening on Thursday, November 17, 2022, <\/span>Tyger Tyger <\/b>is located at 121 E. Yanonali Street, on the major east-west thoroughfare in the heart of the arts and entertainment district affectionately known as The Funk Zone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Passersby can easily spot the restaurant by its iconic black and white tiger mural by local artist Tom Stanley, spanning two sides of the building.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The original <\/span>Tyger Tyger<\/b> opened in 2018 and quickly became the hot spot in the Funk Zone. The bright colors, energetic vibe, and focused Southeast Asian casual menu resonated with the community near and wide and the Instagrammable food and ambiance were instantly embraced. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced the restaurant to close, and the concept was placed on hold.<\/span><\/p>\n

The strategic location became ideal as a test kitchen to give Acme Hospitality chefs a place to experiment with new menus, concepts and pop-ups. But the question eventually arose: What if we take the very best flavors of the original <\/span>Tyger Tyger<\/b> and lean in on “clean and green?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Consulting chef Jasmine Shimoda<\/strong> (formerly of Los Angeles vegan restaurant Jewel and Santa Barbara\u2019s Loquita) and Chef Trevor Laymance<\/strong> (farm-to-table fine dining chef hailing from Ojai) put their heads together to develop a new plant-forward menu offering vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and omnivore options; sure to please anyone seeking a healthy alternative in the Funk Zone with all the bold flavors they have come to love. <\/span>Tyger Tyger<\/b> 2.0 is the same beast, with a different diet – roaring back this fall just in time for the holidays. This iteration offers breakfast and lunch daily and dinner service Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The building on Yanonali was built in 1945 by the Castagnola family as the original \u201cnet barn\u201d where fishing nets were stored and repaired and has served the community as an auto repair shop, bakery and catering kitchen\/caf\u00e9. <\/span><\/p>\n

Large windows peek into the building and bring all-day sunshine into the airy room. Window frames and counters are crafted from natural teak wood and are accented by textures of stained concrete floors, terrazzo tabletops and whimsical wallpapers, including the canary-themed ceiling and wildly floral kitchen and restroom. <\/span><\/p>\n

The bright pink, green, orange and turquoise floral palette warm the interiors and are juxtaposed with the natural wood and grays of the building, evoking the colorful designs of Southeast Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEver since <\/span>Tyger Tyger <\/b>was forced to close its doors two years ago, <\/span><\/p>\n

we have had consistent requests from our loyal guests to reopen with our innovative Asian fare. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…Those voices have been loud and clear, demanding a healthier and more sustainable menu brimming with flavor but good for the body and the planet. We are listening, and this new iteration of <\/span>Tyger Tyger<\/b> is our effort to deliver on that promise,\u201d states Sherry Villanueva, Founder of Acme Hospitality.<\/span><\/p>\n
