Local restaurant group taking over prime space uptown

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The 5th Street Group will breathe new life into the La Belle Helene space.

The restaurant group — also behind 5 Church and Sophia’s Lounge in uptown — announced Monday it has taken over ownership and operations of that prime space in the 300 South Tryon Building.

La Belle Helene closed last June after operating in uptown for about two years.
