According to the restaurant’s announcement, the decision was made with a heavy heart. “…although with a heavy heart, we have decided that the story of Laurel here in Kertész utca will now end,” the post reads. According to the team, they did everything they could get out of the restaurant, and now they are opening a new chapter in hospitality.

Although Laurel’s closing surprised and saddened many, the owners are working on new plans. According to their promise, they will soon provide news about their new plans in hospitality. “Because we still have plans and dreams waiting to be realized,” they added.
