Oh dear… I think I just don't get the Fat Duck! I have honeslty never in my life endured a meal like I had last week. We were taken by friends who love the restaurant and urged us to join them for the tasting menu. 13 courses later I was silently begging to be let out.
The restaurant is lovely, very cosy, the service is superb and exactly as the previous reviewer says it is run with military precision. The wines we had were beautiful and all chosen carefully to go with the food, and there for me it all ended… The snail porridge, the roast foie gras with almond fluid gel (can you think of a more off putting ingredient?), salmon poached in liquorice gel all left me cold.
I wish I got it, I really do because I have really wanted to go the the Fat Duck for a long time, but I was so disappointed. Anyone who is thinking of going probably should look on the website and check out the menu first, its not for everyone, so be careful if you suggest it to others for dinner.
