BILL OF THE WEEK
MONEY was obviously of little concern to these four diners at South Kensington restaurant L’Etranger last week, as they spent a corking £2,263.33 on the restaurant’s “1961 Table” tasting menu.
For £500 per person, they ate scallops wrapped in prosciutto parma ham and black tobiko with oyster, chive and champagne vinaigrette; a three-way game platter of venison, wood pigeon and reindeer; and a double-baked Cox apple tart with honeycomb ice cream, bitter chocolate foam, crispy beetroot and a cinnamon twill.
The food was washed down with a magnum of Moet and Chandon Imperial, a Ch&268;teau Calon Ségur St Estephe 3&377;me Cru Classé, a Ch&268;teau d’Yquem Sauterne and a Hine early landed cognac, all from the year 1961. A feast indeed.
