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.

Where’s the chips?

No ketchup either. Bloody stingy, if you ask me.

I think you have uploaded the photo incorrectly OP. Where is the other half of your salmon fillet?

The photo on the blog would have been too much cured salmon for me.

looks more like left over food scraps tbh.

If it was a ‘posh restaurant’ and they had salads/veg on the side dishes then I would assume I needed to buy these.

I disagree with those saying this won't do the restaurant any favours. I hadn't heard of it before, and I would actually go now. I just wouldn't order the salmon.

It even looks raw, was it smoked? That wouldn't even feed a toddler.

It looks cured.

Me too

Me too.

I think they have an expectation management problem - £18 is not a completely absurd price for a plate of sashimi-grade salmon (if that’s what it is) in a high-end setting. But if they’re serving it up as a main course the waiting staff should be make it clear that it is a very light dish. If you were ordering expecting an ordinary sized salmon fillet and sides then I’m not surprised you were disappointed.

@Flowerwinter

It’s a hotel/champagne restaurant in Derbyshire. It was on the menu as a main course for £18. I understand it’s sushi grade etc but I’d expect at least a piece of bread with it or some salad?! I did query if it was a starter and he said ‘it’s a main, as it’s on a big plate’.

Is it Fischer’s @ Baslow Hall @Flowerwinter? They’ve caught me out like this before a couple of times, emergency chips on the way home last time 😂

Whoops! Just seen it’s Devonshire hotels, ignore me. One day I’ll learn to read more than the OP’s posts

...and this is why I only eat at the Toby Carvery!
