Bistrot Lafayette on King Street to Close

The French restaurant Bistrot Lafayette expects to close around mid-December, according to an email from the restaurant's owners sent to customers and friends.

"It is on a sweet and sour note that I come to you to announce the sale of Bistrot Lafayette restaurant," says the note signed Isabelle and Marie.

Laos-born chef Keo Koumtakous and his wife Marie co-owned the restaurant located at 1118 King St. with Isabelle Zorro.

"I have been blessed, with Keo and Marie, in being able to create and run the Bistrot for the past ten years, and thanks to you all we  have felt immense joy and pride in it..." writes Zorro.

Au revoir.
