Bon viveurs worried about spoiling their shirts at supper will be able strip off and feast in the nude1 when London's first naked restaurant opens this summer.
担心在晚餐时弄脏衬衫的饕餮食客们可以放心了,,他们可以脱下衣服,裸体进餐了。
The Bunyadi, which already has a waiting list of more than 4,000, will be open for three months from June 2016. Diners will be encouraged to disrobe and "experience true liberation" while tucking into a tasting menu.
On arrival, customers will be escorted to a changing room, asked to place their clothes and
belongings2 in
lockers3 and given a light gown. It is then up to them whether to remove the final item of clothing at the table. Tables will be partly obscured by bamboo screens, creating a
semblance4 of privacy. Large napkins will presumably be provided to prevent unfortunate burns.
Naked serving staff will wait on tables, offering a menu which will include
grilled5 meats as well as vegan options, all cooked on a wood fire and served on handmade clay crockery.
According to the masterminds behind the restaurant, the "Pangaea-like" enterprise seeks to free guests from the "trappings of the industrialised-world". Mobile phones and photographs will be banned.
The Bunyadi - a Hindi term meaning 'fundamental', 'base' or 'natural' - is the latest creation from
Lollipop6, the company behind Shoreditch's Breaking Bad
cocktail7 bar, ABQ London.
Founder8 Seb Lyall said: "I think it will appeal to vegans and naturists from all over the UK. It won’t be a first date
venue9 but certainly second dates and dinner with friends."
