After five years, Greenpoint’s Fin du Monde (38 Driggs Ave.) is closing its doors. The last day of dinner service will be on Saturday, August 16.
Fin du Monde is a cozy neighborhood bistro known for French classics like beef Bourguignon, French onion soup, and an affordable oyster happy hour. Owners Mona Poor-Olschafskie and Christian Perkins opened the restaurant in December 2020 during the height of the pandemic.Â

Great restruarant, I was one of their first customers. I’ll stop by to be one of their last. I pray another restaurant takes over that space instead of a vape/weed shop catering to the dregs of society.
Has Peeps Kitchen found a new space yet? They were trying to stay in the neighborhood after their lease ends later this month.
Sad to see them go. On the other hand, has Peeps Kitchen found a new space yet? They were intent on trying to stay in the neighborhood after their lease ends I believe in mid-Sept.
Never was able to get over there. Good luck to you guys. Nicely written and photographed. Funny even though the environment is so bad ie inflation, insurance, no parking, no staff etc., a new restaurant will probably open in its place.
Truly excellent food. Would have been a regular for sure if there was any modicum of hospitality. Truly thought the bartender hated my guts, then talked to loads of other people who had the e experience with her and felt incredibly unwelcome there. Perhaps the closing is best for her, personally; maybe branch out from hospitality if it makes you that miserable.
