What is the fanciest restaurant you've dined at in the U.S.?
What was the best restaurant you've ever visited?
I'm a big foodie and was curious as to what other people liked in terms of restaurants. What made it so great? Was it cheap or expensive? Where was it? What’s the fanciest restaurant you’ve ever been to and how was your experience? What's the most expensive restaurant you've ever eaten at? Was it worth it? What is the best meal you've ever eaten at a restaurant? People who have dined at 3 star restaurants, what was it like? Was it worth it?
I don't know if this is the proper subreddit to ask this, but was wondering what it would be like to eat at a 3 star restaurant. I don't think my palate is sensitive enough to tell the difference in the food, but I think part of the experience is going to the restaurant and enjoying the ambiance. So, what was it like? Was it worth the money? Which restaurant did you go to? What’s the best small restaurant you have ever dined in? What's the best meal you've ever had and where did you have it? Describe the best meal/dish/restaurant experience you’ve ever had in your life..
For me, the best thing I ever ate was a stuffed pig’s foot with veal sweetbreads, onions, and morel mushroooms at Koffmann’s in London, England in 2016. It was mind-bogglingly astounding. It was a super rare experience, even unbeknownst to me.....not only was it former 3-Michelin star chef, Pierre Koffmann’s last restaurant - I had scored my reservation just a couple weeks before the restaurant permanently closed for good!! I never got to meet him though....(apparently at lunch I would’ve...fml) but I did get a tour of the kitchen from the chef de cuisine! It was amazing! Here I am this 19-year old Canadian kid....I was so happy!
I’m a chef too, and Pierre Koffmann just happened to like my Insta page a while back! I decided to message him and thank him for the meal I had and he responded and was very polite!
What’s your best meal story? Please include the name of the restaurant and what made it so special (e.g. a particular dish, an unusual wine pairing, your first time eating a certain food, an experience with the service which made your meal special, etc etc).
People who ate at a rich people restaurant, how was your experience? How different was the food compared to your everyday meal ?

What was the best restaurant meal you have ever had?
Yes, I am living vicariously through your stories as I have been locked down since March with no end in sight. What is the most expensive meal you paid for?
Many years ago, I got put on a work assignment for months that required me to travel to New York City and stay every Monday to Friday. I was assisting a company manager with a project and my hotel was near his regular office in the Theater District.If you are not familiar, the Theater District is heavily built for tourists. Restaurants are generally kind of fancy and expensive. There were really not any quick and cheap options for dining in that area. The company had a generous meal policy of up to $30-40 meal for travel expenses. I did use that for a bit, but the food got to feeling too indulgent and kind of ridiculous given it was an extended assignment. Also I was working really long hours and did not want to go sit in restaurants- I just wanted to go watch tv and sleep in my room. So after the first week or so, I instead went to a grocery store on Monday night. I bought some basics for cereal, sandwiches and snacks, and some frozen meals I could microwave for lunch in the office. It cost about $60. I then took a few cans of soda from my hotel fridge to make room for my weekly food purchase , and returned them before checking out at the end of the week. And that was it for food costs, with an occasional meal out here or there. I did the same the next four weeks, submitted my expense report at the end of the month. You know where this is going… A lady from accounting called, and refused to reimburse my expenses because $60 is more than $40, the max allowance for a meal purchase. I explained that had covered 5 days of food but was told it didn’t matter. I then spent the next month trying all the food in the neighborhood. There really were not any cheap options. I went out to eat a few mornings, lunch whenever I found time, and dinner absolutely every day. I could have bought a few installments of groceries but the once/week shopping convenience was part of why I’d wanted them. It had also seemed wasteful for me to go out for an expensive meal every night for long term travel, but now I’d been told that was preferred by accounting to my grocery bills! The next month, I got a call from my NYC manager asking how I’d run through more budget every week of the month than the entire month before combined. I explained the grocery situation, and he thanked me and hung up. About 10 minutes later, that same lady from accounting called me to tell be they’d pay my still-not-reimbursed grocery bill and any going forward as long as the daily amount averaged for the week was under the aggregate meal allowance.
I happily returned to a more reasonable diet. What was the worst restaurant experience you have ever had?
When i think of the best meals i’ve ever had, it’s always whilst i was abroad. The fillet steak with white asparagus and hollandaise from a posh restaurant in Zurich; the wonton and cha sui noodle soup from a roadside vendor in koh samui, the fruitti de mare on lake como, the grilled cheese sandwich from a farmers market in Banff (though the rest of the food in banff was quite poor!)....i could go on! What is your most memorably delicious meal from your travels and is it the best meal you’ve ever had? I would love to hear! What is your most expensive meal you've ever eaten?
