I have before me a receipt from a 2 Michelin Star Restaurant - Page 4

I had a feeling it would be like that. We were talking about having to go there before we move but it's a long trek to get there because of where it is. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have a preconceived picture of it being a bit pretentious and not that good.

Plus it's got a history of being run by criminals (allegedly)

Yeah it's trying hard to be more than it is. Don't get me wrong it's lovely, but not for the price or the "atmosphere" or "attitude" it portrays.

Going out for good meals is one of the main reasons to enjoy life

Absolutely nothing pretentious about it unless of course you choose one of those "look at us we're so trendy we're up our own arse" restaurants! Can't say I've ever been to a smart restauant and felt like that though, but then that's the best bit about being middle-class English get-on-with-anyone

The worst experience is when a restaurant looks good and whatnot, but it's just not all there. There was a place in the Bahamas like that - very smart (well, to American standards - faux 19th century French style with overly-polished wood and all that - not a patch on our standards), good if slightly cheesy service from the waiters, but the food...well, it just wasn't worth it.

I have only been to one 3* restaurant which was Jean Georges in NY and it was extremely dissapointing
