Haven't we been through this before, several times ever since he closed LTC? Has he finally found a backer, after all we know he doesn't want to risk his own money?

Pierre Koffmann, the three-Michelin- star chef currently cooking at a temporary restaurant on the roof of Selfridges department store, has engaged advisers to help him find a property in the West End of London.

Ss much as i would love to see this happen, i cant see this happening. Im with what Matthew said, heard it before and no doubt will hear it again.

[Matthew Grant]

‘‘I still want to open a restaurant as long as I can find a backer,” Koffmann says. “I don’t want to put in my own money. I’m too old. I want to cook the kind of food I like to eat.

He has clearly found an investor(s), or given the outstanding success of the pop up decided that the risk is greatly diminished, so is putting his own money in.

Very good luck to him, and if its going to be brasserie fare, that trotter and every other dish should be decidedly cheaper than what it is at the pop up

So good news all around
