"A new chapter begins"
Of course, the announcement of the closure has made quite an impact in the landscape of Lyon's dining scene. But the idea to sell the Apothicaires address had already been in the minds of chefs Tabata and Ludovic Mey since 2021! A plan to close the doors that will officially come to fruition this April 28, 2023, after one last service...
"The story is just beginning"
In their statement, the duo explains: "A page turns to write a new chapter of a beautiful Apothicaires story. An adventure that began in 2016... 7 years of creativity, deliciousness, doubts, and joys fueled by the pleasure of welcoming you. Our restaurant Les Apothicaires will close its doors on Friday, April 28th in the evening.
Tabata and Ludovic Mey
The end of an adventure, the beginning of another guided by our desire to always strive for excellence. Dreaming of offering you an even richer experience filled with emotions in a new setting that better meets our expectations, taking the time to find new inspirations. The story is just beginning… »
While a new owner may have been found to take over 23 Rue de Sèze in the 6th arrondissement, the future former address of the Apothicaires, the Mey chefs themselves have not yet begun the search for the ideal new location. In the meantime, as one chapter closes, we will be ready to devour the next one!
