A small but significant blaze broke out at Gitane on Friday night. No injuries were sustained during the fire, but it did manage to cause enough damage to the dining room to warrant a temporary closure. The new-menu'd Claude Lane staple will go dark for repairs through the weekend and early part of next week, reopening on Thursday, November 15.
No word yet as to what exactly caused the fire.
In the meantime, Gitane chefs/husband-wife team Bridget Batson and Patrick Kelly Patrick will guest-star next door at Claudine until the restaurant reopens.
