Carr Mill Mall in Carrboro will soon be home to a new restaurant.

Tandem will occupy the space that previously housed Cafe Symmetry.

According to a release, “Tandem will offer modern American cuisine in a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere.”  There will be seasonal, farm-to-table food sourced from local farms on the menu.  There will be standard a la carte ordering in addition to plated meant to be shared by the table.

The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner and will include a full service bar with craft cocktails, local artisan beers, and a wine list.

Tandem is the brainchild of Younes Sabouh and Emma Dunbar.  They worked together for four years at Chapel Hill’s City Kitchen.

Sabouh and Dunbar plan to open Tandem in April.

Chef Younes hails from Morocco and learned from the finest French chefs throughout Europe before moving to the Triangle to work for Scott Crawford at Herons Restaurant at The Umstead in Cary. Most recently he was Executive Chef and created the menu at City Kitchen in Chapel Hill for Giorgio’s Restaurant Group. Emma Dunbar has an equally impressive resume in front of the house, working for two world-class hotel groups before being named GM at City Kitchen.
