Griffintown Restaurant Boom Blamed for Aziatik's Shutter in Old Montreal

Aziatik, a self-described Asian fusion and sushi restaurant in Old Montreal on Marguerite-d'Youville, has closed. The restaurant, open since 2007, had fallen under the radar amid the build-up of what is now a veritable restaurant row on McGill — not to mention the proliferation of restaurants all over Old Montreal.

A spokesperson for Aziatik, however, attributes the decline in business and subsequent decision to close on another factor: "Our clients have shifted to Griffintown!!"

Significantly, the restaurant's last Yelp review came in August of 2013. And it was far from positive.
