Man bans all bankers from his eatery because he was turned down for a loan
Alexandre Callet, 30, says he is annoyed because his requests to borrow money to open a second restaurant were repeatedly rejected by banks who ‘treated him like a dog’.
He has now placed a blackboard outside his restaurant Les Ecuries de Richlieu reading: “Dogs welcome, bankers banned (unless they pay an entry fee of €70,000).”
He added: “This is not just a kebab shop. My restaurant is in the Michelin guide and film stars come in here. A lot of bankers who turned me down know me. They come in here.”

He said: “I believe in reciprocity. I had to respond. If you hit me, I’ll hit you.
“As soon as I see a banker that I recognize I won’t let them enter my restaurant.
“They have treated me like a dog, so I have denied them access.”
The refusal by banks to help people explains why so many French businesses are moving to London, Mr Callet said.
