  • Without warning his pre-paying customers, Michelin-star chef Thierry Drapeau has suddenly but sheepishly pulled up stakes in western France and left for Asia to start new restaurants. One woman hoping to celebrate her 50th birthday recalled considering dining at McDonald's after she and her husband drove 45 minutes in their best clothes only to find the restaurant closed. The woman told AFP they had paid to reserve the occasion in western France well in advance. But Drapeau had closed his Logis de La Chabotterie restaurant in Saint-Sulpice-le-Verdon and his four-star hotel of the same name on March 2. The chef, who lost his second Michelin Guide star last year, wrote on Facebook he had decided to "live beside his wife Kim in her country, Vietnam, which had adopted him already, in order to see their son (Tan) grow up." He announced he would "very soon" open his signature restaurant Thierry Drapeau in Bangkok, "as a new dream that begins," and also "Le Cheval Blanc by Thierry Drapeau in Cambodia." He said: "For all those who feel wounded and betrayed by this sudden departure...thinking about them made my decision so much harder." But he did not say whether he would reimburse his customers and attemps by AFP to reach him were unsuccesful. Sandrine told AFP of her shock after having paid months in advance to celebrate her 50th birthday at the one-star restaurant. "Dressed up, we drove three-quarters of an hour with my husband to find ourselves before a closed restaurant door, without any explanation," said the woman who gave only her first name. "However, we had received a confirmation message the night before," she said. "After having wandered around with other customers, a resident explained to us that he had left without warning," Sandrine added. "It's a birthday ruined. We ended up going elsewhere. We even though of going to McDo." Drapeau had not left notice with the regional authorities who rented him the building whose lease expires end of May, according to a source close to the case. Drapeau's restaurant had been continuing under a restructuring plan in line with a September 2016 court ruling. In 2012, a woman resident walking in a parc a book in which Drapeau had been writing down his recipes for 20 years but which had mysteriously disappeared during a training programme in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The chef paid the woman an award of 10,000 euros which he had promised when it went missing. cor-aag/lc
