A new restaurant has opened in Redmond, though you may have already seen its proprietors slinging food from their mobile kitchen, which has operated for years in the city.

Emma and Chris Leyden, previously of Feast Food Company truck, have traded up to a bigger space — albeit with fewer wheels. The new restaurant, which can seat 80 people inside and nearly as many outside, is located at 546 NW 7th Street. It will go by the same name, Feast Food Company.

Its new location, a former home built in the 1940s, was renovated into a restaurant space in 2002. It housed the former Smith Rock Brewing and Vine-N-Tap, among other eateries.

“I think we’re the fourth restaurant to operate out of here and we hope to be the last,” said Emma.

The Leydens — originally from Nebraska and Kansas, respectively — cut their chops in the restaurant game at the famed Husk Restaurant in Charleston, S.C., which specializes in Southern cuisine. They moved to Central Oregon a decade ago and for years Chris ran the kitchen at downtown Bend’s upscale restaurant 900 Wall. Emma specializes in front-of-house duties, though while operating out of the mobile kitchen she learned line cook skills as well.

“That was super valuable for me,” she said.

Feast has long supported local agriculture, buying from a number of local farms and ranches with the help of the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance. The HDFFA works to connect consumers and restaurants with local growers in order to support small farms.

Katrina Van Dis, executive director of the HDFFA, said she is excited that Feast is expanding its presence in Redmond. She said the restaurant, and the Leydens, are showing how the locavore movement isn’t just for big-city foodies.

“It should be normal, right?” she said. “Feast is a perfect example of a comfortable environment and affordable food that has a local connection. I like that Feast is making that available to everyday people.”

The restaurant is currently open Thursday through Monday from 3-9 p.m. and Sunday from 3-8 p.m. The Leydens said they hope to gradually expand their hours, adding weekend brunch first, then hoping to open for lunch throughout the week.

Its menu ranges from a $12 fried mushroom appetizer to a $15 cheeseburger, a $26 short rib pappardelle and a $12 funnel cake for dessert. Happy hour includes affordable options, including raw oysters at $2.25 each or a $6 order of french fries. Feast has a full bar with specialty cocktails, as well as numerous beer and wine options.
