"I make a video every week", announces José Orsini, owner of the restaurant Le Bistrot du Port in Nice.
“Since the start of confinement, I have put myself on the stage to announce the take-out menu: once, I was in an inflatable boat, another time skiing.
I even put myself in prison behind the curtain of my establishment.
I don't know if this brings me new clients but we get a lot of views, sometimes 40,000 or 45,000 ”.
Its last video, published Tuesday evening and relayed by France 3 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, has already reached 10,700 views.
Coming out from under the cool earth, in a coffin, with a sheet indicating "restaurateur" and a cross made with skimmers placed on it, he announces: "They all want to bury us [speaking of the government] but all restaurateurs are still there ".
For this restaurateur for twenty years, these videos are "the only way to keep a social link and to send a message to the government".
"Every week, it's the ritual"
“Usually, I make my customers laugh in my restaurant as it is impossible, I do it through videos.
And it has become a ritual!
I know that my clients expect the take-out menu every week, ”says José Orsini.
He concludes: “For my part, I like it, it relaxes me and on the other hand, it's more attractive than posting a blank sheet.
There is a small scenario and it makes you smile despite the crisis we are going through ”.
