Trendy Fort Collins Restaurant Closes Memorial Day Weekend

The Kitchen, the bistro that opened five years ago in the Avery building in Old Town Square in Fort Collins, plans to close Memorial Day weekend to make way for a new restaurant in its space. Next Door American Eatery, also from co-founder Kimbal Musk’s The Kitchen Restaurant Group, plans to take over the space later this summer.

Musk tells The Coloradoan that he’s looking for a new location for The Kitchen in Fort Collins.

The Kitchen closes after one final brunch on May 26. The Fort Collins outpost of this Boulder-based group is one of the prettiest spots in town, serving quality ingredients and straightforward dishes with local produce-filled chef specials.

Next Door American Eatery features a locally sourced ingredients and a roster of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes that range from salads and burgers to sandwiches.

The Kitchen Restaurant Group has six Next Door American Eatery restaurants in Colorado and four others in Indianapolis, Memphis, the Cleveland area, and the Chicago area.
