Top celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey is facing criticism after it was revealed that his New Year’s Eve dinner menu costs a whopping £345, without booze.
The 55-year-old Scot is serving up the seven course feast at his Michelin-starred Petrus restaurant in South West London.
The set price for the menu, of which the main course is pigeon, is £300, with the fee rising to £345 after an automatic 15 per cent service charge is added.
The December 31 menu also includes smoked eel and potato salad as a starter, followed by pate, scallop, Dover sole, marmalade sorbet and hazelnut mousse.
The pigeon is a roasted Anjou bird and comes with pear and a sauce, The Sun reported.
The publication also reported that it's actually the wine that will cost the most. The Petrus wine list includes bottles of wines costing thousands of pounds each.
The prices aren't even listed on the online menu and diners are advised to email the restaurant’s sommelier for a list of wine prices.
Ramsay’s New Year’s menu at his The River Restaurant is even more expensive – at £402.50 a head, including the 15 per cent service charge.
The news follows the recent revelation that Salt Bae’s Nusr-Et in Knightsbridge is one of the lowest-ranked restaurants on TripAdvisor in all of London, despite reportedly being the second most expensive in the whole world.
The steakhouse landed at 20,491 out of 23,811 restaurants in the city, with an average rating of two out of five stars on the site.
Dishes range from £17 all the way up to an obscene £1,450. Some of the restaurant's specials include a Golden Burger for £100 and a Golden Giant Tomahawk steak for £1,450.
