1,500 Euro's (MINIMUM) for Dinner

[LaosLover]

In Saint Tropez, they now want a guarantee of a minimum spend before you can book a table:

I can't claim to be boycotting it, since I would never go to Saint Tropez anyway.

 

-What's your max per person spend when eating out? And what do you order?

 

Me: With very rare exceptions like the $400 vegan pre fixe's at both Gaggan and The Peninsula, about $100. Usually with oysters heavily in the mix.

I love seafood.  But I catch all of my own to ensure freshness.  One thing I will never eat in Thailand is the shellfish because they are a filter feeder.  Nothing healthy about eating fecal coliforms.

All i remember of Saint Tropez that this place was the place to go for, and trend setting of topless sunbathing of yesteryear, not sure if its still a thing there.
