i recently went to a posh restaurant and had a 7 course "tasting menu" including a glass of wine with each course, it cost �98 per person. It was certainly an experience. However although i didn't cme away hungry, i could have done with some proper food afterwards
Posh food like "timbale of ...." and anything served with "foam" annoys me a bit, as if im paying for food i would like t to be something i like
as far as i can remember the courses were as follows
1)timbale (ie pile) of crab and caviar + quails egg
2) cider braised pork belly with celeriac puree
3) baby turbot with deepfried scallops and lemon foam
4)steak diane (flambeed at the table)
5)tomato tart with basil and parmesan sorbet
6) assiete of desserts (included ice cream, fondant, and a few other desserts which i cant remember now
7) coffe and pettit fours

this also included some "amuse bouche" i think it was granny smith sorbet on a merengue and crab olled in smoked salmon.
i probbaly wouldnt pay all that money again, but as an experience it was worth it

^ The Fat Duck in Bray? That menu sounds very Heston Blumenthal...

The one me and my hubby went on for our 25th anniversary a couple of years back.

The restaurant had a good write up in the papers, we took the family and we expected to pay a fair bit.

Actually the food was dire and expensive and when it came to dessert and saw how much the desserts cost, my hubby was kicking me under the table, meaning not to have one.
I did and regret it.

It cost �300 which I don't mind payable if the food was quality. I reckoned I could have cook a better meal at home.

a horrible barely warm lasagne and a nasty cup of coffee it cost me �80 and the police would not let me out until i signed to say i would pay

Not quite what you're looking for I think, but a good story none-the-less. Back in 1989 we went on holiday to Yugoslavia - when it still was Yugoslavia, The currency was the dinar and inflation was rampant - the rate of exchange altered by the hour. On our last evening the five of us went out for a final meal and very nice it was too, and the bill came to over one million dinar. We felt really posh!
