Saarbrücken mourns: popular restaurant closes after many years!

Saarbrücken, Deutschland - In Saarbrücken, two gastronomic facilities go into history. This Saturday, December 21, 2024, the popular “Jouliard” Restaurant in the Rotenbühl district opens its doors for the last time. The owner Karl Fluhr had to make this painful decision for personal reasons and informed the guests months ago about the closure. "This decision was not easy for me, but I firmly believe that it is the right step," said Fluhr. The "Jouliard", which has been awarded the "Bib Gourmand" of the Guide Michelin since 2021, will be painfully missing in the Saarbrücken restaurateur scene. The city has already found the loss of the "Restaurant Schlossgarten" and the popular "heart's content" this year, which further dries out the culinary landscape, such as the reporting of Sol.de Shows.

Vapiano closes after 16 years

But that's not all: the "Vapiano" restaurant on Bahnhofstrasse will soon close its doors. After 16 years in Saarbrücken it concludes at the end of March 2025, as a result of economic difficulties and a expiring rental agreement. According to the official information from Vapiano, the location was confronted with challenges before the situation tightened by the Corona pandemic. The gastronomy chain decided not to extend the rental agreement, which already informed employees. Vapiano was once a popular place for pasta and salads, but here too, due to falling customer volume and continuing vacancies in the area, an important address is eliminated, such as the Restaurants mark a further decline in Saarland gastronomy, which raises the question of how the industry will develop in the future. With the creeping loss of such popular food goals, the variety of gastronomic offers in Saarbrücken could be seriously endangered.
