Marseille Is Opening in the Former Brasserie/Gaslight Space in Boston's South End

It looks like the people behind a French restaurant in the South End of Boston are opening a new dining spot not too far away.

According to a post from BosGuy, the Petit Robert Bistro team is opening a restaurant that features southern French fare in the SoWa part of the neighborhood, moving into the space on Harrison Avenue where Brasserie had been, and before that, Gaslight Brasserie du Coin. BosGuy mentions that the new spot could be opening sometime in February or March if all goes as planned.

Petit Robert Bistro resides on Columbus Avenue, just under a mile away from their upcoming restaurant.

The address for the new restaurant coming from the people behind Petit Robert Bistro is 560 Harrison Avenue, Boston, MA, 02118.

[January 6, 2023 update: Based on a licensing board hearing notice, the new restaurant moving into the former Brasserie/Gaslight space will be called Marseille.]

[May 2, 2023 update: A new article from BosGuy mentions that Marseille soft-opened over the weekend while its Instagram page indicates that it is indeed up and running.]
