French bistro LE CHARM in SoMa is closing on July 31st after 20 years in business, but it’s not going away completely. As Hoodline reports, owner Lina Yew has brought on one of her front-of-house staff members, Mathilde Gravel, as partner. They are renaming the restaurant in her honor, calling it MATHILDE, and making some changes to the space. The space will become more airy and casual, and they’ll be serving lunch, brunch, and dinner. Le Charm’s last day is July 31st, and Mathilde should be opening its refreshed doors in mid-August. 315 5th St. at Folsom, 415-546-6128.
