Would you Pay £212+ for a Restaurant Meal?
Would you pay £212.00 per head to eat in Michel Roux’s Restaurant ‘La Gavroche’?It seems many will many will as last year's profits were….. £250.000.
Michel Roux is a famous Michelin Star Restaurant owner and former BBC Master Chef Host
Not content with charging the highest price for his menu, for some time he has been underpaying his chefs at La Gavroche £5.50 per hour instead of the minimum wage of £7.20
And… keeping all the Waiters tips as well, even though the Government advice is that all tips and gratuities must share with staff.
Of course he will not be fined or prosecuted, as he has friends in High Places who happily make him very rich by paying £212+ for his food. And..probably also underpay their employees as well
Wouldn't be surprised if he receives a Knighthood instead of a fine!
It is only the little Café’s who get fined if they did the same.
Even if a multi millionaire I would not frequent his establishments as matter of principle ,

I have done in the past...... £1100 for 4 of us.Antibes aint cheap but this was ridiculously expensive and something I'd never do if I were paying out of my own wages......as Marmaduke mentioned...expenses.
I must also admit that a big % of the bill was booze.

That amount money would feed many hungry jobless people, if you have it to waste.
