"Taix is a grim reminder of L.A.'s insatiable appetite to destroy its own heritage, especially devastating to a certain milieu of writers and artists."
"I love that they don't play music. I love the 1960s bathrooms. I love the bottomless tureens of soup. I love the complimentary crudité from the pre-pandemic era."
"I love its rundown glamour, which miraculously evokes Old Hollywood, Belle Époque and trashy Americana all at once."
Taix, a historic French restaurant in Los Angeles, will close on March 29 after nearly a century of operation. Originally opened in 1927 and relocated in 1962, it has been a significant gathering place for artists and writers. The restaurant's unique charm includes its lack of music, vintage decor, and comforting food. Many patrons have shared personal memories and experiences that highlight the restaurant's role in their lives, making its closure a poignant loss for the community.
