Abattoir to shutter March 28

UPDATE (April 2, 2015): Plans Filed For Eighth Ford Fry Concept

Abattoir, the “Southern Chophouse” which opened in the Westside Provisions District seven years ago, will shutter after dinner service on March 28, the restaurant in a press release announced Wednesday.

“We have loved our seven year run with our great team at Abattoir. We have been proud to present great food, a fabulous atmosphere and the talents of several notable chefs,” Anne Quatrano, Abattoir’s owner/operator, said in the release.

“It’s time we let another concept take over this awesome space as we work on the opening of our Fish Camp at Ponce City Market this Spring.”

Ford Fry will takeover the space, according to Eater. What Fry will open hasn’t been confirmed but the new concept will be the chef’s third Westside restaurant (Fry owns and operates JCT. Kitchen & Bar and The Optimist), and his eighth in total.

Quatrano is a James Beard Award-winning chef/restaurateur behind Star Provisions, Bacchanalia, Floataway Cafe, and the soon-to-open Fish Camp.
