3 star Michelin restaurant

[Deleted User]

I have eaten in a Michelin star restaurant but not a 3 star one, had a look at one when on holiday but though of better ways of spending 400/500 euro and that's for lunch. Has anyone here eaten in a 3 star Michelin restaurant and what did you think of the experience.

I've eaten in Eleven Madison Park https://www.elevenmadisonpark.com/

Best food I've ever eaten.

When the staff found out we were on honeymoon, they gave us a private demonstration in the kitchen, and made us some delicious cocktails.

backspin.

€25 for a steak is the most i will pay for a main course anywhere. So i wouldn't even eat in a michelin 1 star.

I would prefer a good carvery and a few pints

Seems a little bit crass to talk about Michelin * restaurants when some people are still barely getting by, in my opinion.

I have barred myself from them now

And don't forget the starving kids in Africa.

Have eaten in a 2 Star (Guilbauds) and found it hard to justify the extra cost compared to a 1 Star like Chapter One or Thorntons (now closed).

Service/Food was excellent but didnt have any wow factor compared to the above mentioned.

It's seems a bit crass for you to comment on a message board when there are people who can't get on the Internet in North Korea.

I read in the paper at the weekend that you can get a 3 course meal for €39.99 in Chapter One during the week and it has 1 star.

So they are not all expensive.

I'm sure that pub in Clare that got one recently isn't too expensive?

Went to a couple of Michelin 1 star restaurants, one was an Indian, fantastic food and a decent price too, but for myself to spend 500 yoyo's on a meal would be madness. That's a day's pay ffs.

Ye won't need feeding after taking that bait anyway

It doesn't have to be 3 star to drop 400 or 500 a sitting..

Generally worth every penny, the whole experience is just amazing and worth it as a treat every few months.

Yup. Having your bank account drained for food you’re not even sure what it is, and heading straight to Burger King afterwards is some experience alright

Earning over 100k a year you can certainly afford it

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Based on what? Income alone? Silly to ignore other variables.

500 for one meal while on 100K a year is stupid.

People here think 100K a year is this holy grail, like super wealthy. It's not even close.

A big enough figure to stealth boast about all the same.

Stupid post, utter ignorance.

Eat a 5 course tasting menu in Chapter One and you'd be absolutely stuffed, the food is extremely rich so portions are small.

Genuinely, what does rich mean when it comes to food? I thought it meant heavy like a big chocolate cake you would buy for €2.

That is the other thing how much of the world is wealthy enough to eat at restaurants like that regularly. The world is getting wealthier.

That's more than a weeks pay for most of us!

3 stars and very much an experience, Michel Roux Snr came out to say hello, probably a once off, but never say never

Eaten in a few 1 star places too, mostly very very good incluing Loam in Galway, which was especially tasty, but actually the best food I've ever eaten was here

No stars but regularly in the worlds top 50 restaurants since it opened and genuinely jaw droppingly good food

Stop getting offended on behalf of others.

My family is barely getting by and we've been to a Michelin restaurant (not recently). I wasn't that impressed by the food but it was a unique experience.

20 years ago, and he's talking about 140K per year. Different figures, different times.

100K today is not phenomenal cash. I don't know what I would do with it all, but it's nothing special to be honest.

Anyone ever have truffles on their dish? Crazy expensive but supposed to be amazing.

I think they're in season again.
