Take, for instance, a swanky Michelin-starred joint in London. Patrons walked away seething after being slapped with a £58 bill for a basic breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast topped with a few shavings of white truffle. And let's say you opt to skip the fancy truffle - you're still looking at a hefty £36 for what's essentially a run-of-the-mill breakfast dish.
Naturally, if you decide to splurge on a Michelin-starred dining experience, you expect to shell out a bit more than your average joint. But let's be real here - this price tag is just plain outrageous.
From The Sun UK:
But customers' opinions are divided on the lavish dish.
One person wrote: "The dishes were basic, lacking a notable wow factor.
"Simply adding truffle to bread doesn't automatically elevate one to the status of a chef.
"Overall, while we gave it a try, we weren't entirely convinced by our experience.
"Furthermore, the pricing was exceptionally high without any apparent justification."
Another reviewer added that the dish was "tasteless" and she "couldn't even smell [the truffle]".
But while some guests were baffled by the bill, others have been left impressed and pleased with the breakfast dish.
A different customer disagreed, saying: "It’s worth every bite and they really are not shy with the truffle like other London restaurants."
Another visitor said that the meal was "a must-try" with someone else adding: "Food on the pricey side, but you pay for the experience."
