Peter Morentzos and La Société Split

Some three weeks after a surprise announcement from Peter Morentzos that his restaurant group was about to assume control of La Société Bistro in the Loews Hôtel Vogue, the restaurateur has told Eater Montreal that the business arrangement is off.

"You are absolutely correct. We are officially out of La Société due to unforeseen operational issues," wrote Morentzos on Monday.

The restaurateur did not elaborate beyond that. The about-face frees Morentzos, presumably, to concentrate on the reboot of La Queue de Cheval in late May. For now, photos of him still linger on the official La Société Facebook page.
