Poledra - ah yes, from the kitchen of the legendary Michel Findus?

Avec le minced boeuf?

Poledra · 05/06/2013 23:27

How about 'Le crepe croustillant'

ExcuseTypos · 05/06/2013 23:21

Talc that menu sounds delicious. if you grew up in the 70s

Can I add 'Tuna A La Bake avec Crisps'. My mum was a master of that dish.

Enjoy tomorrow Getorf. We will all be jealous thinking of you.

Marking my place so I can hear all about it once you're back from the honeymoon or at least recovered from the high. Smile

I've never been anywere posh, I am dead jealous.

saythatagain · 05/06/2013 23:02

I went in 1992 and can still remember what I ate.

stealthsquiggle · 05/06/2013 23:00

Areyoumad - good to hear. Our DC are reasonably restaurant-trained but this is our first venture into Michelin-starred territory with them. The Manoir for a mid week lunch was a very deliberate choice.

We will expect a full blow by blow report on Michel La Gavroche.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 05/06/2013 22:59

Oooh la la etc

Have a cracking time

Trazzletoes · 05/06/2013 22:58

Jealous! Have fun!

BIWI · 05/06/2013 22:57

I've been to both Le Gavroche and Le Manoir and I have to say, I far preferred Le Manoir. It was much more relaxed and far less stuffy.

However, thinking of GetOrf's proclivities, Raymond probably isn't a fair substitute for Michel!

TheMagicKeyCanFuckOff · 05/06/2013 22:56

Course you will. Course you will.

Has he any say in it? Or will you leave him no choice?

Poledra · 05/06/2013 22:56

Oh you lucky cow. Enjoy.

Stealth, I'm sure it will be fine Smile

I have a friend who knows Le manoir very well and has taken her kids there several times (they are now 5 and 10). They even got a personal tour of the facilities last time they went Smile.

I think I will pass out from excitement if he is actually THERE and comes around the tables.

I keep looking at the menu and wondering.

Plus dd doesn't drink wine so I will have her half of the bottle.

Oh god I am going to be a terrible show up. I hope I don't cackle.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 05/06/2013 22:52

OhYouBadBadKitten · 05/06/2013 22:52

Stealth, ditch the kids and take me, I'm ever so well mannered.

Areyoumadorisitme · 05/06/2013 22:51

Oooo, enjoy! I am envious!

How come you 'might' be going? I may be missing something though as I don't understand half the posts on this thread! Grin
