Bon viveurs worried about spoiling their shirts at supper will be able strip off and feast in the nude when London's first naked restaurant opens this summer.

    The Bunyadi, which already has a waiting list of more than 4,000, will be open for three months from June 2016. Diners will be encouraged to disrobe and "experience true liberation" while tucking into a tasting menu.

    On arrival, customers will be escorted to a changing room, asked to place their clothes and belongings in lockers and given a light gown. It is then up to them whether to remove the final item of clothing at the table. Tables will be partly obscured by bamboo screens, creating a semblance of privacy. Large napkins will presumably be provided to prevent unfortunate burns.

    Naked serving staff will wait on tables, offering a menu which will include grilled meats as well as vegan options, all cooked on wood fire and served on handmade clay crockery.

    According to the masterminds behind the restaurant, the "Pangaea-like" enterprise seeks to free guests from the "trappings of the industrialized-world." Mobile phones and photographs will be banned.

    The Bunyadi - a Hindi term meaning "fundamental," "base" or "natural" - is the latest creation from Lollipop, the company behind Shoreditch's Breaking Bad cocktail bar, ABQ London.

    Founder Seb Lyall said, "I think it will appeal to vegans and naturists from all over the United Kingdom. It won't be a first date venue but certainly second dates and dinner with friends."

    The venue in central London - its specific location is so far undisclosed - has a capacity of 42 and dinner will cost around US$85 per person.

    Lyall added, "We believe people should get the chance to enjoy and experience a night out without any impurities--no chemicals, no artificial colors, no electricity, no gas, no phone - and even no clothes."

    伦敦第一家裸体餐厅即将开业，约吗？

    担心在晚餐时弄脏衬衫的饕餮食客们可以放心了，今年夏天伦敦第一家裸体餐厅即将开业，他们可以脱下衣服，裸体进餐了。

    这家名为Bunyadi的餐厅即将在2016年6月开业，营业时间只有三个月，现在预约人数已经有四千多了。餐厅倡导顾客们在享受美味前宽衣解带，“体验真正的自由”。

    顾客们一到餐厅，就会被领到更衣室，把衣服和随身携带物品锁进储物柜里，穿上一件轻便的罩袍。然后进餐时脱不脱这最后一件衣服就他们自己决定了。桌子会被竹制屏风隔开，营造出一种隐隐约约的隐私空间。大餐巾会事先备好，以免被食物烫伤。

    裸体的服务员会在桌边侍奉，呈上菜单，菜单上有素食也有烤肉。这些食物都是用柴火烹饪的，盛在手工陶器里。

    据餐厅的设计者说，开设这家具有“盘古大陆天地初开”时原始氛围的餐厅是为了把客人们从“工业化世界的泥沼”中解脱出来。餐厅里禁止使用手机和照相机。

    Bunyadi餐厅的名字源于印度语，意为“本原”，“根本”或“自然”，是饮食集团Lolliopop新开的一家餐厅，伦敦肖尔迪奇区的《绝命毒师》主题鸡尾酒酒吧ABQ也是这个集团创建的。

    创始人谢布?莱尔说：“我觉得它会吸引全英国的素食主义者和裸体主义者。尽管没有人会把第一次约会的地点选在这里，但一定会是第二次约会和朋友聚会的地方。”

    这家餐厅能容纳42个人，人均消费在85美元左右，地点在伦敦中心地区，具体地址目前还没披露。

    莱尔补充说：“我们认为人们应该有机会享受并体验一个纯粹的夜晚：没有化学制品、没有人工色素、没有电、没有燃气、没有电话——甚至没有衣服。
