I won't say that we're foodies, but we enjoy unique experiences that Michelin star restaurants often provide, which certainly isn't present in Florida. However, we are really unsure of where to go despite countless hours of research. I will say that the London restaurants have nice lunch prix fixe to offset some of the premium you pay for the stars. We do have other places like Gillrays and Julie's based on family and friends recommendations.
My plans so far, but I am here for suggestions based on previous experiences:
London
Gordon Ramsay - lunch
Dinner by Heston - dinner
Adam Handling - lunch (we're staying at St. Ermin's)
Is Alain Ducasse worth a trip for lunch?
Paris
Guy Savoy - not sure whether dinner or lunch
There are so many restaurants that I haven't been able to narrow down my choices yet. We're staying at the Renaissance Vendome and would like something relatively close.
We already discussed it at the best restaurant thread- the plan looks OK. Not really my choices, but it's your decision. Woudn't go to Alain Ducasse for Lunch. Food isn't the star here, it's the experience. I doubt it's as glamorous at Lunch as it is at Dinner.
P.s. Yes you save a lot at Lunch, but you loose a lot of the day. Also I normally take neverless the Tasting.
