Quenelle is under development at 341 Franklin St. by business partners Rachel Herman-Gross and Mary “Leacel” Hillenbrand, who are planning a French bistro-style restaurant in the space that has housed the Crabman seafood restaurant since 2019.
“Buffalo doesn’t have a French bistro and we thought we should remedy that situation,” said Herman-Gross, a former bar manager at Prescott’s Provisions who is leaving a job in wine sales for the venture.
