Taix French Restaurant in Echo Park closes after nearly a century

ECHO PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A piece of Los Angeles history has closed its doors, as Taix French Restaurant served its final meals on Sunday after nearly a century in operation.

The Echo Park landmark, which opened in 1927, has been a gathering place for generations of families.

The historic building is making way for construction on a new multi-use development. The owners said they sold the property out of financial necessity but are hopeful Taix will reopen within the new structure in about three to four years.

But the owners say the closure is not the end for Taix. They plan to rebuild on the Echo Park site and reopen by 2030.
