Wat's happening at Bistro K in South Ken, the restaurant formerly known as French chef Jean Christophe Ansanay-Alex’s L’Ambassade de L’Ile?
Apparently there have been changes in the kitchen. Does this mean head chef Armon Sablon has moved on?
L’Ambassade gained a Michelin star in 2009 but was closed little more than a year after opening, with Ansanay-Alex later claiming he was fired by business partner Jean-Michel Aulas. Former Roux Scholar Sablon was promoted to head chef and the restaurant was relaunched as the more casual Bistro K in January.
Now we hear that change has been afoot in the Bistro K kitchen. Does anyone know more?
Just spoke to Armand and apparently it's business as usual. So I guess I was misinformed...
we're running a menuwatch on Bistro K next week so it's a relief Armand is still there
So...
Armand Sablon was going to leave Bistro K and had submitted his resignation. But after much discussion and negotiation, he has signed a new contract and is staying put.
For now anyway.
