How much for a special treat meal for two ?

[Piemaster]

£130 for 2 here at a special event. Food matched to beers brewed in conjunction with the restaurant in a nearby micro-brewery.

There is a plan to go for a long leisurely lunch there next week. Previous lunches have come in around £50 each before.

Most was about £140 at what was at the time noted as the best resteraunt in Iceland. £100 including a bottle of wine happens a couple of times a year. We keep meaning to spend £2-300+ at a Michelin starred place but we are yet to find one that really appeals, I suspect we will end up at Raymond Blanc's place for some classic French cooking.

Quite a few responses over £100 then, I'm clearly going to have to up my game !

It will probably set us back about £300, but we're only doing it once!

Apparently you can't get a weekend table for months!

We went to Paris last year and ended up in a small boutique little place in the designer shopping area.

1 grapefruit juice and 1 lemonade was 16 euros

I knew what it cost and although it was a rip off we did enjoy sitting there watching the world go by. Never again tho.

Lets not include the wine. £500 for high end food for 2 is over the top. If you do a bit of research you can do pretty wel for £200. High end restuarants generally do serve good food but they have a heavy premium to mange demand which are normally corporate and business expensed away.

For that price a weekend getaway with your partner at a location where they serve good food would be a better deal.,

A ten course tasting menu and you needed a duck egg and cheese on top?

I'd forgo the duck egg but you can't have too much cheese. I'd have opted out of the wine pairing too, that buys another 13 pale ales.

I don't think I'd go to a restaurant where there was a demand for mange.

I've had some weird stuff in my mouth in my time, but never paid more than fifty quid for the privilege.

Yes you are - put a bit more wooing effort in!

Someone I know goes to his Christmas meal each year and loves the entire event including a choir, candles and everything.

I must be a scrooge....I've been in a tv personalities place and had an average meal and been in a local Italian that is reasonable and had a superb meal more or less every time....I've found a few pubs where I've had excellent service(one in Hebden Bridge for the locals).

Well this is the thing.
I have had most wonderful meals in all sorts of places. From the humble corner cafe in Orpington to a very high class French Restaurant in Cannes and everything inbetween.

£500 for two

Unless that includes the private jet to Naples, I wouldnt personally spend that much. £100 is top, top level, but each to their own.
