But the move will leave fans of the pricey grub and Insta-snapping influencers disappointed.

Salt Bae has been a regular fixture at Nusr-Et Steakhouse London since it opened in September this yea.

The butcher-turned-chef won't be around to slice steaks and show off his salt-smattering skills tableside for adoring fans like Wayne and Coleen Rooney.

Deep-pocketed foodies have previously paid £250 for prime reservations at the Knightsbridge eatery, with the chain recently under fire for allegedly treating staff poorly.

Workers said the the 38-yeasr-old's chain of restaurants are "ruled by fear" and the company didn't "care about employees".

A server in Miami said: "Give a crap about your staff and not just money. Maybe let the staff actually taste the food we sell for you? Let us see our tips and how they're distributed. Stop being sketchy about everything."

Another person added: "Not enough hours, passive aggressive clients."

And another said the firm was "ruled by fear" and added: "Company doesn't care about employees."

The Sun has approached Nurs-Et eateries and Nusret Gökçe for comment.

The menu features a £1,450 gold-gilded tomahawk steak, another £630 hunk of beef and a £100 burger - among other mega-expensive menu items.

The chef even charges £9 for a single glass of coke.

Taking to his Instagram page, Salt Bae shared the news of his impending move.

It's thought the seasoned chef has at least 13 other eateries alongside his 15 Nusr-Et Steakhouses in glitzy locations like Miami and Dubai.

But it seems he hasn't quite managed to keep up appearances at all his outposts, after one worker at Nusr-Et Steakhouse Turkey claimed he had worked there for months and never met the chef, real name Nusret Gökçe.
