Wow, is all I can say.
My bro took me to a t Michelin star restaurant on Friday, first time I've ever been to such a great restaurant.
We went to a French style http://www.latrompette.co.uk/.

What impressed me was that it was only £40 for 3 courses, all though wine was expensive.

Confit sea trout, crab and cucumber salad, crab croquettes, vichyssoise and pea shoots
Had a sea trout and crab starter. I haven't like cured fish until know. The sea trout was simply heavenly. As a bonus it also had some caviare on it as decoration. Surprisingly it wasn't that bad. Slightly slimy on the outside and a crunch as you bite it, then it just tastes like fish.

Breast of duck, pastilla of confit leg, hot foie gras, cherry compote and caramelized endive
Main was a duck breast with a duck leg samosa type thing, the caramelized endive was very much like braised leek and a cherry sauce. With Foie gras, which I have to say was very nice. Very rich and buttery. But went very well with the dish and was only a very small amount.

Valrhona chocolate marquise, milk sorbet, macademia nut praline, chicory crème
Desert was a chocolate marquise with a chicory ice cream. A very simple, but so so so nice..

What I was shocked about was the head wine guy was awesome He newly instantly what went well with the dishes and occasionally picked some of the cheapest wines.

Cost £370 with 4 bottles of wine. For the price I think it was a bargain and if you haven't tried top notch food, you really have to go and try a top restaurant.
