From the official website of the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in France:
In honor of the 40th anniversary of its first flight in 1969, the French Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace has restored Concorde F-BTSD (cn. 213) to flying condition and will take to the sky again on June 16, 2009 at 10:00 AM from Le Bourget Field at the Paris Air Show.
The restoration, which took place in secrcet, was funded by benefactors and aviation enthusiasts with the help of former Concorde maintenance technicians.
The two-hour flight will have F-BTSD departing Le Bourget with 50 passengers heading west out over Ireland for a trip above mach one. The last time this aircraft flew was June 2003.
Some more official news:

Note the name of the chef.
The interior, frankly, sucks. In such a wide body, I do not think single aisle is making best use of the width.
And in-flight turbulence is more hazardous for candles falling over than a coordinated banking maneuvre.

"A Boeing spokesman said that stopping the candles from falling over when the aircraft banked was proving tricky, but that they had recommended a technical solution to reduce the risk of turbulence which involved removing Soup of the Day from the menu".
Bah!...
...
How can one possibly enjoy a flight when "Soup of the Day" has been removed from the Menu.....

True, but another beer on the "Oktoberfest A380" will soon have your forgetting about the soup

Even if you didn't notice this it's clearly an April fool.....the Dreamliner won't be flying by 01.04.11, let alone be a flying restaurant
