An Orléans restaurant is set to close its doors after 25 years of serving customers in Ottawa’s east end.

Kozy Nest Restaurant on St. Joseph Boulevard is closing on Sunday.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Kozy Nest Restaurant will be closing its doors on Sunday, June 1,” Sam Boushey said on Facebook.

“Our lease has come to an end and we must say farewell. This is not a goodbye forever, just so long for now. We are so grateful for your support these last 25 years and for allowing us to be part of your community and your lives. It has been a privilege and a pleasure.”

Kozy Nest is a family run restaurant.

Customers have flooded the Kozy Nest Facebook page with tributes to the staff.

Another popular establishment in Orléans is set to close in June.

Art of Bean Coffee says it will be closing on June 21 after “three-and-a-half incredible years.”

“We couldn’t have imagined the level of support and kindness that we have experienced here, and for that we will always be thankful,” the owners said on the Art of Bean website.
