A South End eatery known for its French cuisine announced Tuesday on social media it will shut its doors Friday.

“After much thought and consideration by our team, it is with a heavy heart that we share that Bar Lyon will be closing its doors after dinner service this Friday, December 31st. We are so appreciative of all of our guests and the South End community who have offered their support to us over the years,” the restaurant posted.

Bar Lyon opened in September 2018, known for its food from southeastern France and its wine selection, according to NBC 10.

Boston.com named it one of the best Boston restaurants to open that fall.
