The Michelin guide started life as the product of a company that sold tyres because of the history in France of holidaying in-country across the nation. One star meant a restaurant was worth stopping at en route. Two stars was worth taking a detour to. Three stars was worth planning your trip around. The Michelin Guide is no longer this, as it has evolved far beyond and enjoyed riding the coattails of French haute cuisine's ascension to the top of the culinary world. That is, if you believe the same kind of marketing that tells you Bordeaux is without question the greatest wine in the world. The reality is that the prestige surrounding it has conquered all. I've yet to eat at a Michelin star restaurant that wasn't excellent, but in some senses the organisation, and the food culture it inspires, is the epitome of pretentiousness, very much like wine culture. It's like chef's table on steroids. Read some of the personal accounts of chefs that have interacted with the Michelin guide; stars removed because the reviewer thought the souffle had cheddar in it, or because the cutlery place settings weren't 100% consistent. Is that really what's important to you when you choose somewhere great to eat?

Before you comment, let me do it for you. Such small portions heh heh. I eat so much more than that feed me more hehhehehhhhhAn onion? But I'm paying for michelin star food! Bare hands and no hair net? what a disgraceIf any of these thoughts passed through your mind then the fact is that you're very likely not the target audience for this food. Nor will you likely ever be the audience. When people pay hundreds, sometimes thousands for a high-end restaurant set menu they're not paying for a good old fashioned filling meal. They're paying for a different experience with food, and know they can trust the kitchens at well regarded restaurants such as this to deliver on that experience. The need for receiving enough food to make you full, or thinking that fast food style hygiene equipment is required, or needing to know that your getting your money's worth out of the ingredient's monetary value - these are unfortunately only things that the less fortunate have to think about. This is a different world.

It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast. Soon I shall be drinking ale from curved horns. This hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death! I shall not enter Odins hall with fear. The Aesir will welcome me! My death comes without apology! And I welcome the valkyries to summon me home! Waiter: _Ugh sir I was just asking what you'd like for a starter_Anytime you dine at a Nordic restaurant you gotta go full Viking.

I can't stand restaurants that treat food like an art collage while ignoring the flavor of it since It always ends up tasting like overpriced trash. It's no different than contemporary art, trash artists who paint a single dot on a blank canvass and then turn around and sell it for millions. It's all a money laundering scam! Like that idiot who taped a banana to a wall last summer and sold it for 300 thousand.

people keep talking about the sizes and how they wouldnt be full. although i agree since i myself have a huge appetite, i would also love to have a 14-course meal at this restaurant. at the end of the day to ME its more about the experience and how all these different quality ingredients make such wonderful flavors. its art that we can eat

Does it look beautiful? Yes, it does, Does it look tasty? Yes, it does, Would I go to have dinner? Absolutely not. You can put all the care you want in those dishes but let's be real here, those portions are laughable and this is the literal representation of pretentious.

I don't know how people could take it so lightly watching someone take a living being's life with a knife and then act like it's nothing. Damn, we humans are indeed this world's cancer
