SoFi's Fancy French resto Gloutonnerie opens Wednesday
High end Mexico City French restaurant Gloutonnerie debuts Wednesday in the space formerly known as Au Pied de Cochon. And while most would think it was a totally turnkey operation, the almost $50,000 a month space has been totally renovated, which is an insane notion considering the Au Pied peeps spent a pretty penny on something that could barely make it out of the pen. You have to sell a lot of lobster risotto and beef cheek stew to recap those resources. Then again, a swanky high end market hawking everything from cheese and caviar to foie gras may help. There’s a reason they named the restaurant “Gluttony,” which actually does sound less offensive in French. Between this and lofty Greek restaurant Milos across the street, that’s one pricey corner of restaurant real estate. We wish them all luck.
