“We want to have the image of a warm bistro”: “Chez moi” takes over from “Café 12” in Auch

“We want to break the idea of ​​the PMU café.” Taken over at the end of June and reopened a few weeks later, the former “Café 12” changed owners and perspectives: “We started everything from scratch. We worked like crazy for 15 days, taking turns morning and evening between two teams”, remembers the new manager. With this takeover, he wants to create a new dynamic: “We would rather have the image of a warm bistro,” explains Ahmed.

The kitchen, which was only open at lunchtime, has also been greatly disrupted: “We tend to cook more elaborate cuisine, with local and fresh products. We want our customers to come here as at home, with dishes comforting, fast and of good quality.” Despite this ambition, the new manager announces falling prices.
