Will be near one of my favorite restaurants (which has seen fit to raise its menu prices noticeably within the past couple of months) in a SW corner of France and it will be featuring a dinner with various champagnes hosted by the president of Champagne Deutz.

Wondering whether it is really worth € 148 a head for 5 courses/champagne pairings + various canapes given the 5 savoury/cheese/dessert dégustation menu is €111 or €168 with paired wines? Probably a few premium ingredients jacking up prices.

Menu is:

Quelques amuses bouches :
Huître, campari et pamplemousse & King crabe, avocat et agrume
Carpaccio de langoustine, blanc-manger au citron vert, julienne d’oseille
Deutz brut classic

***
Pressé de caille et canard fermiers, fines salades aux copeaux de foie gras
Deutz brut rosé millésimé 2009

***
Filet de bar de nos côtes rôti, velouté et caviar d’Aquitaine
Cuvée Amour de Deutz 2005

***
Morceau choisi de bœuf Wagyu de Burgos,
couqueline de pomme de terre, foie gras et truffe
