Arcade Fire may be on a slight hiatus after touring around the world for Reflektor, but that doesn’t mean their members are not staying active.

Take, for example, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne. They’re branching out and opening a Haitian-themed restaurant in the greater Montreal area. Chassagne is of Haitian origin, so it makes sense that she and her husband would stick to her roots in the venture. The restaurant will be called Agrikol and be a collaboration with Roland Jean and Jen Agg, who already have a spot in Toronto called Rhum Corner.

Butler and Chassagne were inspired by Jean and Agg and hope to bring authentic flavors to their own establishment, as well as a visual art and music space.

Does this mean fans may see Arcade Fire perform there in the near future? It’s a possibility.

The restaurant will be opening this summer.
