Would you pay £18 for this as a main in a posh restaurant?

Ordered what I thought was a salmon fillet from the mains, this is what arrived…it was £18. I’m gutted.

That’s a starter, not a main.

You should have posted a picture of it before you ate it Grin

Agreed

Shock

What a rip-off!

SunshineSum · 12/06/2021 22:15

Taking the piss.

Travis1 · 12/06/2021 22:15

Did you laugh and ask where the rest of it was?

SparklyLeprechaun · 12/06/2021 22:15

They've got their wankiness to defend, op. If you get more than 3 bites out of your meal that means the restaurant is not posh enough.

UnwantedGain · 12/06/2021 22:16

The state of the plate!

Cottagepieandpeas · 12/06/2021 22:16

Looks lovely as a starter.

Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 12/06/2021 22:16

Starter.
100%.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 12/06/2021 22:16

To be fair there is quite a lot of salmon.

Keepitcleanplease · 12/06/2021 22:16

That looks delicious but it is not a main. It is a starter. I'd be very hungry with that for a main.

ssd · 12/06/2021 22:17

They seen you coming op

HagenDaz · 12/06/2021 22:18

How was it described on the menu? Carpaccio of salmon? Because that actually is a starter.

Did you say anything?

denverRegina · 12/06/2021 22:18

Ew, on a dirty plate

LunaNorth · 12/06/2021 22:18

I hope you ordered a big dish of new potatoes and some veg or salad with that.

and a loaf of bread and butter

Serpenta · 12/06/2021 22:18

What's with the salmon, some dried seaweed, some basil oil and some pea shoots?

That is a starter.

I'd be peeved!

WithLargeTableMouse · 12/06/2021 22:18

The posher the restaurant, the smaller the meal. You’ll have to go to the chippy on your way home to fill up! Shock

GCAcademic · 12/06/2021 22:18

Which restaurant is it?

Sarahlou63 · 12/06/2021 22:18

The plate looks huge! Did you eat it all?

KihoBebiluPute · 12/06/2021 22:18

The pusher the restaurant, the more shocking the price-to-mouthfuls ratio is. If you aren't paying £35 for 3 mouthfuls then it's only medium-posh not proper-posh.

youOKhunn · 12/06/2021 22:19

Can see your pic but where's the food?

SiobhanSharpe · 12/06/2021 22:19

There are just six, SIX bite size pieces of salmon.
Total rip off.
If i cook a 120 gram salmon fillet I get more than six bites from it.
