A renowned fine-dining restaurant in the Bay Area has ended its operations after more than four decades in business.
La Folie, located in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood, closed permanently on Saturday, marking the end of a 43-year legacy. The restaurant, which first opened in 1981, was celebrated for its French cuisine and earned a Michelin star during its tenure.
Chef Roland Passot, who co-founded La Folie with his wife Jamie, expressed gratitude to the restaurant’s patrons and staff. “We are so thankful for all the support from our loyal guests and the dedication of our team over the years,” Passot said in a statement.
La Folie was known for its tasting menus and classic French dishes, attracting both local diners and visitors. The restaurant’s closure is part of a broader trend of long-standing Bay Area establishments shutting down, influenced by changing dining habits and economic pressures.
The restaurant’s website announced the closure and thanked customers for their decades of support. No information has been provided regarding future plans for the space or the Passots’ next steps.
