It is one of the latest restaurant fads — people taking pictures of their food.

But now two top French chefs have said enough is enough and promised they will crack down on customers who take pics of their plates.

Gilles Goujon, a Michelin-starred chef who runs the L’Auberge du Vieux Puits restaurant in Fontjoncouse, southern France, claims photo-taking is bad manners.

And also “takes away the surprise and a little bit of my intellectual property,” Goujon told France TV, according to BBC.

He was backed by another chef, Alexandre Gauthier.

His La Grenouillere restaurant in northern France has added a “no cameras” sign to his menu.

Gauthier said it was sad that people now take pictures of the food rather than the people they are dining with.
