I've always wanted to try a proper Michelin star restaurant particularly at Le Gavroche Michel Roux Jr's place, has anybody been and if so your thoughts.

Have been to a Chateux in France whose restaurant was overseen by Micheal Roux senior - stunning lamb filet !!
Also been to Paris House which again was beautiful
Been to a few other places around that don't have a star but have chefs who learnt their trade at one

My parents have been a few times. The first time they loved it. The second time they made the mistake of going a week after I sent them to Hedone (michelin star restaurant in Chiswick), and weren't as impressed by Michel. (They're clearly getting picky). They still massively recommend it though! (Hedone is still meant to be good, but last I heard a couple of Head Chef movements have changed things slightly, as you would expect)
Ate at the Fat Duck. Awesome experience

Thanks mate, did they go for lunch or dinner or was it a taster menu?
I'm going to book it I think so I'll have to dust down my best suit :cheers:

Went for the taster menu (with wine flighting), both times I believe. If you like rich food, you will love it. Their advice was be hungry when you go there, you get plenty! (and if you finish the glass of wine while you still have food on the plate, they are good at topping it up!)

I'm always interested in this kind of thing. I appreciate that you know and love this place, but would it not be good to go try somewhere equally as amazing?

I went to Dinner by Heston in January for my 25th and it was exceptional. The scallops were amazing, the steak was perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked and had a beautiful smokey taste, and then the dessert was superb. Loved it. The service was great too, really felt like they wanted us to have a good time, and every need was catered for. My fiancee is gluten intolerant, and they provided gluten-free bread which was some of the nicest bread I've ever had, was amazed it was gluten-free. Would definitely go back, and am very keen to sample The Fat Duck.
Yep. I went about five years ago when he was still doing a lot of the cooking there but I know people who have eaten there and not enjoyed it saying the food wasn't worth the money

Oh we go to a few places each year - driving back up to the Lakes to stay at the Lakeside as the food there is wonderful
A lovely place just outside Stratford is another fav
Off to the Oxo Tower later also
Always on the look out for some good food places
The Oxo Tower is pretty good. Lovely setting.

Over priced for what it is, go to a Michelin Star restaurant who's chef isn't on the telly and you'll get a treat.
Gleneagles Hotel, Andrew Fairlie is one of the best in Britain, 2 stars.
Tasting menu for £125 and you'll get a treat. A la carte, 3 courses for £95
