For my birthday in July 2014, Eisbaer took me to the only Michelin 3-Star restaurant in London (with a set lunch menu): "Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester." And thus the gangway was laid to embark on an epic journey through Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK and across Europe, wherever our travels should take us. It was quickly established that fine dining was our luxury pursuit of choice -- more than going to the theatre or a rock concert, or buying the latest electronic gadget or fashion accessory. Though our incomes are modest, we are willing to splurge on pampering our palates for a few hours, and deepening our knowledge and appreciation of quality food.
Our approach is to share everything so as to sample as much as possible; so we'll get two of the (typically) three starters and mains and desserts -- or share a cheese plate followed by a dessert, if a cheese course is on offer.
Some say a Michelin star adds nothing to the cooking, only to the price -- but for the moment it remains our truest guide to an exceptional meal.
Bon appetit!
