If I had to choose between 2 Michelin Stars or 2 Michelin Tires....Hmmm I'll go with the tires and stop at Micky D's on the way home. 😂 Besides, I'm sure Santa would have something to say about the Reindeer thing! Very well done.
9000 NOK for two people including wine packages seems quite par for the course for a two star Michelin restaurant. I am guessing the menu was so seafood oriented because it is winter season. It is the time of year when seafood is at its best and the restaurant can get the freshest and very best seafood in the world from the Norwegian and Barents sea.
@@heatherabroad For the sake of the experience, I suppose it's worthwhile, but certainly not for the taste. It takes years of daily indulging in sophisticated cuisine before one can fully appreciate the complexity of a dish at a highly upscale restaurant. That's why it's always a letdown for a newcomer - unless it's purely for the one-time experience. If taste is your priority, it's advisable not to frequent a restaurant more than 1/10 beyond your level of culinary experience. Said with wine. You should drink what you like and not what is recommended. Wine recommendation is a ridiculous thing anyway. The pleasure of drinking wine is significantly derived from discerning the nuanced differences between batches and teaching yourself why you prefer one to the other.
I drove Mrs Renaa just after they received the first star. According to her, it's one thing to get it. Another to maintain it. Now they got the second, making Stavanger the best city in Norway to dine in. I notice there's a new restaurant at at Victoria; Brasserie Pigalle. Looks interesting, but pricy.... I also hear Bellies is recommended a star. It's vegetarian, so not my style. The only vegetable I eat, is bacon....
Yes, I have watched a few short documentaries on such. It is a lot of pressure to maintain the stars, some even felt that it takes the fun out of cooking. And I agree about your vegetable choice! 🤣 although I do eat vegetables, bacon is at the top.
Definitely an experience! From service to food it is next level. Not for the picky eater for sure. I wonder if it is even for the Norwegian taste buds…
Sorry, but all the guys in the table looks like, "don't worries, there are a MacD near by...". I am making nok 7000 a week delivering food for Foodora and Wolt, never eat in a Michelin restaurant before and never will be able to. But also I am not a "foodie", hence can't appreciate the subtlety of high cuisine.
3600 a fucking plate? for those tiny ass portions? I think id rather go to egon. Anyways I think youre an american right? Do you like or dislike norway? I can say that my eight years here has fostered a pretty strong dislike of norwegian people and culture, but im stuck here.
I do like it here but because I know it isn’t long term. There are lots of positives but for me the health care isn’t advanced enough for early cancer diagnostics and surgical techniques. However, this is based off of my interactions and limited information from friends and their experiences. Also, the taxes here are crazy.
@@heatherabroad yeah the healthcare is good once your diagnosed, but the path to that diagnos is long and slow. Took six months to diagnose an ulcer for someone that I know. I just think they're a soceity of elitests. They have told me more times than i can count that thr usa is third world and we're retarded lol. I hope your still enjoying yourself!!!
@@heatherabroadI would like to point out that taxes are high, yes, but some places in the US are worse when you add it all up; healthcare, schools etc. At least that's what economists here at YT taught me 😅
