Valley Vegan Eatery Madeleine's Bistro Announces Closure

Vegan blogger Quarrygirl calls Tarzana's Madeleine Bistro her "favorite vegan restaurant in all the land," and we've loved their lively brunches (and our last Editor hailed it as one of his 7 favorite veggie restaurants in L.A), and now we've learned the restaurant will close down in early May.
Our last day of regular business as Madeleine Bistro in Tarzana will be Mother's Day -- Sunday May 8th -- so if you need a fix please visit soon. Beginning Monday May 9th we will be offering extended home delivery services (bistro box plus some new services as well) and will continue our catering and some exciting special events too (cooking classes, tasting menu nights & more) so stay tuned for those details... Thank you all for your support over the last six years and we look forward to continue serving you in the future.
Best hurry and get your reservations in for your "facon" omelette, vegan mac and cheese, "chicken" and waffles, and their take on a McDonald's burger before it's too late.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
