Les Bananiers - breaking news

[cec1]

Re-opening tomorrow night. Petite Colombe has leased the space to a new proprietor / operator. Hostess will be a familiar face to some . . . from one of the island’s lesser known restaurants. Luigi is back!

Same employees (well, almost) but different business ownership if I read it right.

No, I don’t believe that it’s same employees . . . excepting Luigi.

"well, almost" in my comment was the reference to Luigi.

So Chef and owner's Fred and wife Valerie will not be running the restaurant that he opened and announced the closing of? Definitely curios for more details

Yeah, this project might either go the way of Santa Fe 2.0 with David or Hideaway 2.0

No, they will not. And Valérie has posted that the new proprietors are using their exact same menu as before, which is a bit of a rub.

Translation:
A menu..... it's not a duplicate file.
It’s a story, a passion, a skill.

Not to be that person, but it's Les Bananiers, not Les Bananier - - you would think they could get the sign correct!

 

[cassidain]

I suppose when we see new menu pricing that will tell us something about new rent € versus previous rent and should shed some light on the initial controversy.

that's code for Andy, right ?

Ha! No, I promise. I just meant the person that points out typos and grammar mistakes. Turns out, I AM that person! lol

Or maybe go with Le Bananier which would then be a technical name change

Yet the sign on the building remains the same.

Andy wouldn't like it, either.
