£45 for eating at Gordon's restaurant is cheap..  i'd pay £100 for a good meal there.

[crystyra]

@Dreez76 - I agree! Definitely worth every penny. :-)

[theleafofmind]

how much you spent in that restaurant?

[crystyra]

@theleafofmind - It's £45 per person for the meal you saw (it's a pre-fixe for lunch). We added wine with our meal and coffee with our dessert so that was extra. I'll have to find my receipt but I think lunch for two ended up being £140. I remember thinking it was well worth it. This is my second trip to this restaurant. :-) I've also been to his restaurants in Tokyo, New York and L.A., but by far this one is the best.
