Saw this today www.msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/travel/paris-opens-its-first-ever-naked-restaurant/ar-AAuqxx6?li=AAmiR2Z&ocid=spartanntp

I'm not convinced I wouldn't lose my appetite surrounded by tables full of naked people.....how about you?

Bellanonna Wed 08-Nov-17 09:34:39

Then you wouldn’t be naked, so not allowed POGS?

POGS Wed 08-Nov-17 09:31:39

Hmm. Serviette, Napkin ?

I would be wearing the ruddy table cloth.

Napkin under boobs, ideal place, be more secure than down the neck

I don't understand why people feel they have to make a 'statement' about anything - colour, sexual orientation, religion, age, politics etc and now nudity.

Whatever floats your boat!

As one who has been seen on the odd naturist beach around the world I am not adverse to getting my kit off. However, gimmicks, such as this are simply opportunities for exhibitionism. There are times when nudity simply is not appropriate.

Do you arrive there naked or undress when you get there?

JoyBloggs Tue 07-Nov-17 19:20:24

But do you need a serviette napkin if you're not trying to keep your togs clean? I suppose boobs splattered with bolognese is not a good look... Perhaps a really big bib's the answer?

Too much flesh on view - after all I'm a vegetarian!

POGS I am shock Napkin, darling, napkin grin

Smithy Tue 07-Nov-17 18:33:26

As has been said Yuk! Would much be well dressed and have fellow diners the same.

POGS Tue 07-Nov-17 16:56:43

Where do you tuck your serviette?

sluttygran Tue 07-Nov-17 14:50:22

Oh dear me no! Nude swimming and sunbathing all well and good, but sweaty botties and bare bouncing boobies and bo*****s in the dining room? Non, non, non , NIET!

DanniRae Tue 07-Nov-17 14:24:15

No Thank You! shock

MissAdventure Tue 07-Nov-17 14:17:48

I always thought nudist etiquette meant always carrying your own towel with you. I have no idea where I've got that information from!

annemac101 Tue 07-Nov-17 14:10:34

How would I prevent my boobs from falling into the soup!

Sar53 Tue 07-Nov-17 12:45:16

This thread has had me laughing out loud. Lots of images going through my head. I don't think it would entice me to eat there !!

W11girl Tue 07-Nov-17 12:02:35

My nieces' inlaws were naturists...although they would dress when she visited them, she would never sit down on sofa's or chairs that they may have sat on!!

Caro1954 Tue 07-Nov-17 11:56:15

Yuk, yuk, yuk!

Daisydoo2 Tue 07-Nov-17 11:30:57

Don't mind nakedness at all... but dinner... no, no no.. I have an image of some sweaty, hairy, dirty bod. Would put me off my food. Yuk.

Samie Tue 07-Nov-17 11:29:52

Couldn't resist a couple of things for the menu:

Sausage and nut roast
Egg on toest
C hips
Tumato sauce over everything

Belly and ice cream

Expect you can all do better than this

We used to go to naturist campsites (in France and Austria) when the children were smaller. But clothing was required in the restaurants, I'm pretty sure. Also in the campsite shop selling food.

vickya Tue 07-Nov-17 11:25:38

lovebeigecardigans1955 they call themselves naturists, but yes, you are right. etiquette is to put a towel or other covering on the seat. We lived in Vera Playa, Andalucia, for two years and the nearest beach was a naturist one. We did go and I got used to it after the initial slight shock at male bits bouncing around as they walked along the sand smile. You didn't have to strip, but most did. There were a couple of restaurants and cafes along the beach and one held our nearest internet facilities, until we got our own.

I remember just a few years ago that a certain supermarket chain stipulated a ban on men wandering around their stores in Speedos.

I'm not surprised......

downtoearth Tue 07-Nov-17 10:28:34

Think of the pain of ripping your bits off a hot plastic seat as you stand up...instant waxing grin

lovebeigecardigans1955 Tue 07-Nov-17 10:25:23

I would have thought that the French would have more taste as they are supposedly well known for being chic. This would put me off my dinner.
The restaurant corncerned must be desperate for publicity.
If I understand correctly I believe that nudists carry a towel around with them at all times to sit on.
