Lafayette Restaurant Closing After Three Years
The Hub City will have one less restaurant come the new year.
Dark Roux, located at 3524 Kaliste Saloom, will close its doors on December 31, 2017.
The restaurant, which is known for supporting local farmers and artisans, opened its doors three years ago.
Ryan Trahan, the owner of Dark Roux, took to Facebook to explain why the restaurant is closing. He says that he and his wife are expecting their first child, and while this was a difficult decision, the couple are pursuing a better work/life balance.
He also mentions in his post that their lease is up at the end of the year, further assisting in their decision.
