An Indigenous restaurant known for its seal tartare is closing its doors, but possibly not for good.

A notice to terminate for failure of tenant to pay rent has been posted to the door of Ku-kum on Mount Pleasant, and they've announced on social media that they’ve supposedly chosen to close.

The notice states the restaurant, owned by the same people behind Snakes & Lattes, owes nearly $20,000 in rent.
