Confirmed: Terroir To Take Over Great Lakes Space
Monday, January 23, 2012 at 5:01PM 
Big news: Eater is reporting that Chef Marco Canora and partner Paul Grieco will be opening up an outpost of Terrior, the extraordinarily popular Tribeca wine bar, in the space that was last occupied by Great Lakes Bar, on the corner of Fifth Avenue and First Street.
This will be the fourth Terrior (the others are in the East Village and Murray Hill), and Canora's other restaurant, Hearth, is also wildly successful (as is Canora himself; he won the James Beard Award as executive chef at Craft, ran Michelin-star winning Insieme, and also appeared on Food Network's The Next Iron Chef).
The great news for Slope foodies just keeps piling up. To get your mouth watering, click through for Tribeca Terroir's menu.

I recommend the new owners walk by that place midday and take a wiff. I live nearby and the stench is heinous.
Good lord, Park Slope has turned into the West Village meats the LES with all of these high profile openings. Talde, Dinosaur, Beauty Bar, Fort Reno Provisions, Franny's 2.0, and now Terroir all announced in one week?!? it's all great news. I'm happy to see some of the old stuff replaced with much much higher quality establishments which suit the current demographics of the neighborhood.
I would imagine that if they'd signed a lease, they've been by during the day, "H". Most Michelin star chefs and James Beard award winners know what they're doing.
That "stench" is the smell of fresh fish served at Blue Ribbon sushi two doors down. The best sushi in the neighborhood.
That's not fish. Herb.
You think pot smells bad?
Yum! That looks fantastic. Looking forward to it!
Correct, it couldn't be coming from Blue Ribbon, it's more of a sewage kind of smell. I walk by the address every day and occasionally notice it though wouldn't describe it as heinous. Actually it reminds me of walking around some streets of Gent, Belgium so, there's that old world kind of flavor they may be looking for. No big deal, on with the great food show, it's great news. Congrats to the owners.
That's frickin awesome. Big fan of Terroir. However, Terroir has been successful in Manhattan. $23 glasses of really cool Riesling will find only a few friends in Brooklyn. Most will ridicule it as too expensive. What are they doing to present a menu that is slightly more price curbed from their East Village haunts?
There is such an AWFUL stench on the corner.
I don't know how I feel that one of my favorite dive bars is turning into...an expensive wine bar.
It's been closed for months, so it couldn't have been too much of a favorite. It's funny how many times I hear someone say that "______ is my FAVORITE place" and then say they haven't been in said place for a year.
This is (obviously) why places close. Let's put our dollars where are mouths are and support our beloved establishments. Everyone wins.
I'll be frequenting Terroir, for sure. I love a good wine bar, but those on seventh are a bit of a hike for me. This will quickly become one of my most frequented establishments on fifth. Very excited.
It adds a lot of cache to 5th Avenue (along with Beauty Bar) as these are both very very trendy places, even by Manhattan standards. 5th Avenue is moving upscale, even as the anti Atlantic Yards crowd assured us that 5th would become a mall of fast food chains.
It's obvious what the smell is - it's Terroir's "Funky Beef Balls." DUH.
In all seriousness, never have been able to over to Hearth, but I did like Carmona on "Next Iron Chef." Dude looked like he had serious skills.
@Deanstreet What? I hope that wasn't a comment towards me, since you wouldn't know how when I was last there, nor when I knew it was closed.
Thanks Andy Rooney for the comments though.
