Küto – Comptoir à Tartares Rimouski closes its doors

Opened in May 2023 on Saint-Germain Street West, Küto – Comptoir à Tartares Rimouski is permanently closing its doors. Health problems for two of the administrators would explain this decision, while the establishment was preparing to move to larger premises on Alcide-C.-Horth Street.

This is confirmed by one of its franchise owners, Jeff O’Connor, at Soir.ca.

“We announce that we have chosen to interrupt our business ties with Küto – Comptoir à Tartares today, despite our constant local efforts to offer a unique experience to our customers. This decision is taken after a thorough evaluation of the circumstances and current directions which do not correspond to the long-term avenues envisaged,” they wrote on a message displayed on the main door of the restaurant.

Premier Küto – Comptoir à Tartares in Bas-Saint-Laurent and 39th of the chain in Quebec, the one in Rimouski offered a menu composed of a panoply of tartars and poké bowls in its restaurant with 100 seats, accompanied by a bar , a terrace and two lounges.

Another closure in Saint-Germain West

With the closure of the restaurant at Germaine, Küto – Comptoir à tartares took the opportunity to rent the unoccupied site to integrate with the traders of Terrasses Cogeco, last summer, also taking advantage of one of the most beautiful terraces in the center -city of Rimouski.

“We have a beautiful city and great restaurants. We would like to express our gratitude to our dedicated team, our suppliers and our loyal customers,” explain the franchisees.

Bankruptcy trustee Lemieux Nolet will be responsible for the sale of the assets. A meeting of creditors will be held by videoconference on December 10, in Lévis.

This closure is in addition to those of recent months in the Saint-Germain Street West sector.
