After only 15 months in business, the first fine dining restaurant for people who wanted to be less dressed than their salads is going out of business.

Twins Mike and Stéphane Saada had opened the doors, and closed the curtains, of O’naturel in 2017. Although the two are not themselves nudists, they thought there was a market waiting to be served. France has been known to be a safe haven for those wanting to leave clothes behind, with clothing-optional beaches, spas, and campsites, as described by Condé Nast Traveler.

On entry, patrons would doff their clothing, leaving it in a locker to don their napkins. And there were the rules: no cell phones or behavior that was exhibitionist or lewd.

Chair covers were replaced between patrons to satisfy health codes, which also included keeping waitstaff and cooks dressed.

O’naturel’s menu offered appetizers, main courses, and desserts. One of each ran 49 euros, or about $56. There were also vegan choices. No soup on the menu, perhaps because the chance of a hot spill would be off-putting.

The restaurant advertised the “pleasure of dining naked all year in the capital in the respect of naturist values.”

Putting people at ease was an important task, the owners told French wire service Agence France Press. “As soon as customers enter the dining room, we accompany them to their table and we reassure them that it’s not like the whole room is looking at them,” Stéphane Saada told AFP.

But that wasn’t enough to bring in sufficient business. The restaurant will close February 16, hopefully before the owners lose their shirts.

在开业仅15个月后，第一家专为那些希望穿得比沙拉还少的人开设的高级餐厅即将停业。

2017年，双胞胎迈克·萨达和斯蒂芬·萨达的O’naturel餐厅拉上窗帘，开了门。尽管两人本身不是裸体主义者，但他们认为这是一个市场空白。《悦游》杂志（Condé Nast Traveler）这样描述道：法国一直被认为是那些不想穿衣服的人的安全港，这里有很多可选择不穿衣服的海滩、温泉和露营地。

一进门，顾客们就脱下衣服，把它放在储物柜里，换上餐巾纸。规定是:禁止使用手机，不能有暴露癖或淫荡的行为。

餐厅会为新顾客更换椅子套，以满足卫生规范。卫生规范还包括让服务员和厨师穿戴整齐。

O’naturel的菜单提供开胃菜、主菜和甜点。每道菜售价49欧元，约合56美元。也有素食可选。菜单上没有汤，也许是因为担心热水溅出来可能会让人反感。

这家餐厅的宣传语写道：“全年均可在首都享受裸体用餐的乐趣，符合裸体主义者的价值观。”

餐厅主人称，让人们放轻松是一项重要的任务。斯蒂芬·萨达告诉法新社：“顾客一进入餐厅，我们就会陪他们到餐桌前，并向他们保证，并不是整个餐厅都在看着他们。”

但这仍不足以带来足够的生意。这家餐馆将于2月16日关门，希望在此之前店主们没有血本无归。（财富中文网）
