Magnus on Water (website, facebook, instagram, twitter) a new cocktail bar and restaurant in Biddeford will open Saturday at 5 pm serving cocktails, wine, beer and a menu including dishes like masa hush puppies with crab, barbacoa tacos, and co-owner Carmen Harris’ family recipe for chocolate cake.
Magnus is headlined by a trio of former Elda staff: bartender Brian Catapang, GM Brittany Saliwanchik, and sous chef Ryan Nielsen in partnership with Julia Russell and Carmen Harris.
The Magnus is located at 12 Water Street just over the bridge from Saco. It is named for Albertus Magnus, a 13th Century alchemist and Catholic saint, thought of as one of the “greatest German philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages”.
Their regular schedule will be 5 to 11 pm on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and 5 to midnight on Friday and Saturday.
