What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?
Maison de Quatre Saison
A Michelin two star restaurant
The meal a very special treat
The food was quite exquisite.
We went there for a six course lunch
The whole thing an experience
Can’t quite remember what it cost
But more than a MacDonalds!
The food’s around two hundred each
And that’s before the wine list.
You wouldn’t do it every day
But always keep the memories.
Restauranter Raymond Blanc
So really is quite famous
The house and gardens very grand
And part of the experience.
The staff are very welcoming
And take you to the terrace
You will be looked after there
While they prepare your table.
Then in to the restaurant
With light and airy decor.
All the tables clean and white
With freshly laundered linen.
The service was just excellent
It really blew our socks off
Unobtrusive and discreet
But always there when needed.
Every course was fully explained
Each one had an expert.
This is where each bread came from
And this is how we made it.
I can’t remember every course
A few years since we eat there.
One was meat and one was fish
It struck a perfect balance.
You didn’t get a lot of choice.
Was what the chef chose for us.
But one course I can’t forget
I’ve never had a better
Strawberries prepared three ways
All the flavour – so intense
It really was tremendous.
When your done
They’ll take you out
Sit there on the terrace
Finish off with petit fours
If you’re feeling moreish.
Still the gardens to explore
Food grown for the table
It is such a good day out
Theme park for us adults.
