'I dined at Manchester's Michelin Star restaurant with £195 menus and it was my meal of the year'
It's funny what people rate as "good value" or as a "rip off" in these straitened times we're living. I've never heard so many moans about the price of a sausage at Manchester Christmas Markets this year, yet I've also never seen so many people out scoffing the £7 treat.
Yes, I know that's an eye-watering sum of money. Can a meal out ever justify that figure? Well let me tell you straight off the bat that this was the best dining experience I've probably EVER had in Manchester, and undoubtedly my most exciting meal of 2022. The reason it holds such sway for an establishment? Because becoming a "Michelin Star restaurant" sets you apart from the rest - and places you into an elite sort of culinary space.
Taking a seat in the sleek, airy dining room you get to see the hive of activity taking place in the open kitchen. Chefs are based at individual stations creating the extraordinary elements required to put together a meal at this level of intricacy. When you are presented with each course, and then get to eat it, it's quite simply a riot for the senses. They bring over what looks like an alien caterpillar - served with actual spruce sticking out of the plate - although I'm assured that bit is not for eating.
It's at this point a little loaf of bread arrives. A bread unlike any other - slathered in lavender and honey, it's as if finally Mana has discovered what carbs were made for. Mana from heaven, if you pardon the pun.
