The not-long-for-this-world Douglas Times has a profile of the new restaurant that opened in Gardnerville, in the space where Paradise Cafe used to be. It’s called the Bravo Cafe, and they say business has been steady even though the economy is down, and even though Paradise Cafe failed in that same spot not too long ago. It’s a tough location, in a tiny strip mall along Hwy 395, where the only conceivable foot traffic would be from the middle school nearby. But this is an outgrowth of a dessert catering business they’ve been running for a while, so at least they’re not starting completely from scratch. Let’s hope they can make a go of it.
