New Culinary Venture Set to Launch in Hillcrest: Introducing Plain Jane
Little Rock’s Hillcrest neighborhood is abuzz with excitement as a new café, Plain Jane, prepares to take over the former Cañon Grill location at 2811 Kavanaugh Blvd. The announcement comes from a group of local restaurateurs—sisters Helen Grace King, Leila King, and their sister-in-law Kamiya King—who are behind popular downtown eateries @ The Corner and Flora Jean’s.
A sign displayed on the vacant restaurant’s window welcomes the community to this new venture, stating “Hillcrest, meet Plain Jane. Plain Jane, meet Hillcrest.” The Kings have submitted an application for a building permit to initiate interior renovations of the 2,200-square-foot space. Although the sisters have not publicly discussed the project, they have provided a glimpse into their vision through a QR code linked to an Instagram account for Plain Jane’s.
The café aims to celebrate “Southern simplicity with a fancy French flair,” combining local culinary traditions with elegant influences. The account encourages followers to stay tuned for updates as the project progresses, creating anticipation around what Plain Jane will bring to the Hillcrest dining scene.
As the Kings embark on this exciting new endeavor, gastronomy enthusiasts and local residents are eager to see how this café will enhance the neighborhood’s culinary landscape. More information and sneak peeks will likely be unveiled through their social media channels in the coming weeks.
