Nude diners, do spare a thought for your waiters | Barbara Ellen

Paris has opened its first nude-dining restaurant, called O’Naturel. Customers eat in the buff, leaving their clothes in a cloakroom, and they can’t be gawped at from the street.

It makes sense for a country such as France (with its naturist beaches) to have a nude restaurant – a naturist group were the first customers. However, as a former waitress, my first thought is, what about the staff? London’s nude restaurant, The Bunyadi, currently fundraising to stay open for another year, featured topless staff in flesh-coloured briefs, strewn with leaves, which made them resemble Tight Fit’s The Lion Sleeps Tonight video, but at least it was some sort of protection from serving hazards.
