The following story is from Yonge and Roxborough: “”Famous journalist David Crane reports that the owner told him Patachou (at Yonge St. and Macpherson Ave.) is closing in May. They were planning to do it later but construction of a condo in the rear means they will be losing the kitchen. Also their chef who has been with them for 35 years wishes to retire. Another issue which helped reinforce the decision is that the car rent space opposite Patachou patio is to be torn down this summer, and a new building put up. Patachou owners think this would make the patio largely unusable this year due to noise and dust.
Well, there is still the Caffe Doria, one block south. It will crowded after Patachou closes.
