After more than five years of an extraordinary journey with Latinway, we've made the difficult decision to close our doors. Latinway has been more than just a restaurant; it has served as a beacon of Latin American cuisine, culture, and hospitality. The people of Aberdeen have wholeheartedly embraced us and we've received consistent support from both digital and traditional media. Our biggest achievement is still the 5-star rating on TripAdvisor, a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, from the moment we received the 2020 Traveler's Choice Award to the present day.
The decision to close down is due to several challenges. The decline in pedestrian traffic in the city centre, partly because of limited parking availability and its significant cost, as well as the closure of nearby streets, has had a major impact on us. Additionally, the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with rising costs for essential ingredients and energy bills, has increasingly made operations more challenging.
Nevertheless, at this time of closure, we choose to focus on gratitude and the future. We extend our deepest thanks to every individual who has been a part of Latinway's story: our staff who stood by us, our loyal customers, and all the contributors to this journey. Thanks to you, we look back with pride and forward with hope.
We believe that this moment is not an end, but the beginning of a new chapter in Latinway's story. As we bid farewell to our cherished location, we are quietly nurturing the seeds of new ideas for the future. The spirit of Latinway is poised to embark on a different, yet thrilling, journey. Keep an eye out for what's to come, as we promise to deliver our unique flavours and experiences to you in unexpected ways.
We cherish the memories we've created and the support we've received. While Latinway may be leaving its physical location, our spirit and flavours will continue to thrive.
Thank you, Aberdeen, for your unwavering support. We promise this isn't a goodbye, but rather a 'see you soon!
