A beloved restaurant in Eugene is moving from the downtown location it's held for nearly 40 years to a larger space in the 5th Street Market.

Poppi’s Anatolia is known for its saganaki, tzatziki, gyros plates and Greek salads.

The tiny restaurant at 992 Willamette St. has a lot of charm. Long-time patrons find comfort not just in the food, but in the cozy decor.

“We have these beautiful natural wood beams in this location,” said Poppi’s co-owner, Shanti Walling, as she looked around the restaurant’s dining room. In the kitchen, staff prepared to open for the day.

“We are going to be installing some natural wood as much as we can, to continue that feeling, that kind of grounded warmth that it brings to the space,” Walling said. “We are going to bring all of our plants and then some.”
