When Gaslight closed in late November after its lease expired, fans of the lively French restaurant mourned the end of its 15-year run. On May 6, a new concept will take its place — and it bears a striking resemblance to its predecessor.
Brasserie will open in the former Gaslight location at 560 Harrison Ave., bringing French classics back to this South End locale. Leading the concept is owner Jeff Gates, formerly of the Aquitaine Group, which runs Aquitaine and Metropolis Cafe. The Aquitaine Group’s portfolio used to include Gaslight and Cinquecento, the latter of which shuttered after a water main break caused roughly $1 million in damage to the restaurant.
