Surely once the Robuchon institute gets up and running, then all businesses will be better placed. With over 500 students in year 1, over 8oo in year 2 and from year 3 thereafter, 1200 (plus their families/visitors), then i think a centrally placed wine bar serving simple tapas (cheese platter/ charcuterie/ feta and olives etc) would be in demand.........would need the facility for tables "on view", say overlooking either the river or the main square. Food preparation could be minimal, so no huge kitchen area needed. There would be demand already I think, especially "in season", but certainly once the Institute de gastronomie opens.
