I took a friend to Le Gavroche (run by the Roux brothers) in my home city of London and as this is a very classy joint, they don't give the women a menu with the prices. As I was paying for this (a birthday treat), she was a little put out not to have any prices and was I think really scared that I might not be able to afford it.

The total bill was about $360 dollars/£180 (didn't order any liquor either), although after 7 courses, I was so full I didn't need breakfast the next day, fantastic evening.
