One of New York's Most Acclaimed Restaurant Groups Nabs Longtime Soho Bistro
Briefly

Kent Hospitality is set to open a new restaurant at 180 Spring Street in SoHo, replacing the long-established Bistro Les Amis, which served the community for 28 years. This transition represents a shift towards a more casual atmosphere with an emphasis on drinks, moving away from the former French focus of the bistro. Following the death of founder Jamal James Kent, the group has seen dynamic leadership that has allowed it to expand with new projects in New York, signaling a fresh approach to their dining concepts.
Bistro Les Amis, run by Roy Ibrahim, closed at the end of May after nearly three decades in business, known for its French onion soup and late-night service.
Since Kent's death last year, Kent Hospitality has shifted focus, with emerging leaders overseeing renowned projects like Michelin-starred Crown Shy and World's 50 Best bar Overstory.
The new restaurant under Kent Hospitality at 180 Spring Street plans to pivot from bistro to a casual neighborhood spot focused on drinks.
The fast-growing Kent Hospitality group continues to expand its footprint with several new projects, including Time and Tide in the Flatiron.
