Spend £900 on dinner, says TV chef

HOW much would you pay for a fancy meal? According to the BBC’s Great British Menu star Daniel Clifford, diners should expect to shell out almost £1,000 per person at a top restaurant.

Discussing how ‘cheap’ it is to eat out in Britain, the twoMichelin-starred chef says: ‘I went for a meal in Paris and our bill was £900 each. We didn’t have any fancy wine, we had four courses in a threestar restaurant and we all walked away from there and said: “It’s full [of diners].” ’

One of the most expensive restaurants in London is trendy Nusr-Et in Knightsbridge,

run by the flamboyant chef known as ‘Salt Bae’.

But Clifford blasts: ‘Do you want a [£630] steak cooked by Mickey Mouse or do you want to come to a two-star restaurant where you’ve got 15 chefs that care about everything they do? There’s a big difference, isn’t there?’
