'Foreigners-only' eatery draws flak in Pakistan: TOI

LONDON: A French restaurant in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad has drawn flak after it put up a notice saying "foreigners only".

Islamabad police said it has also received complaints regarding such notice being put at the front window of the Cordon Rouge restaurant, which is situated close to embassies and government buildings in the city’s heavily guarded diplomatic enclave.

However, the owner of the food joint, Jean-Luc Hue brushed aside the accusations, saying the notice has been “misunderstood”. Hue admitted that he fumbled with the selection of words for the notice. “This is just a misunderstanding. I only put the sign up for the month of Ramzan,” the BBC quoted Hue, as saying.
