First to report on the food gets a rhum shot on me

Thank you for the menu!

So, the menu itself seems different than the old Bananiers menu, but the pizzas are almost identical, except they are missing all the white pizzas, which are my favorite.

Hopefully they will pop up as special pizzas of the day, Tiff.

I wasn’t a “regular” at the former “Les Bananiers,” but was surprised when someone wrote that the new menu was going to be same as the old one. I’m glad to know that the new proprietor is refreshing the former menu with some innovations.

Well, the person that wrote that was Valérie, the former owner, so I figured she knew something I didn't. . I have mixed feelings about going there after what happened, but it may be hard to resist Luigi's pizzas.

Is the new price level substantially higher than the old ?

 

[dadto6]

Hello Cass,
It appears to me the pricing is very similar so that shoots down the rumor that pricing would rise to compensate for increased rent from Landlord. I will continue to support the restaurant as I feel it is a good value relatively speaking.

I loved those white pizzas too !

Hoping the white pizzas (especially the Fermier - goat cheese, honey, lardons, ...) make it back on the menu by next May.

I pulled out an old to-go menu and it looks like the pizzas are 1€ more, a few are 2€ more, so not much more at all. And, the pizzas are in the exact same order as the old menu....

Luigi gets a well-deserved raise! (and, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!").

"It sells for the most offering and rare are those who resist this mad race after money, always more money."

This from GC's post (obviously a translation) a while back of Bananiers' FB posting.

But, the dots don't seem (from afar) to connect. It's all about money, more money (lease rates) but the new menu similar price to old.

Unless the leaseholder is now in the restaurant business . . . .

In the movie The Founder, Michael Keaton, playing Ray Kroc, famously states, "You're not in the hamburger business. You're in the real estate business," according to the movie's dialogue on YouTube. This quote highlights the key insight that fueled McDonald's expansion: controlling the land and buildings where restaurants operate is more profitable than simply selling food.

This is great news, what a relief.

Interesting . . . I never thought about McDonald’s ownership of underlying land as a major asset. I wonder what percentage of its locations are company-owned? Maybe most of them? Something similar emerged in NYC a number of years ago when land underlying numerous parking garages came to be the most valuable asset of these companies — values far exceeding their parking revenues.
