Mirazur Flowers Universe: a menu that highlights the expansion of beauty with the range of flowers available in our gardens.

Mirazur Fruits Universe: the regenerative force of nature inspires us to create a menu with all the available fruits

For lunch and dinner

The experience of a sensory trip, rhythmed by the variations of the biodynamic calendar, to meet the vegetable, terrestrial and marine essences of our universe

320€

Roughly $390

I can't figure out what is on the menu. For that price it better be good.

It looks great and I expect it is. I also expect a hell of a lot of great for $340. We ate at Mozelle's in WInston Salem the other night and it was superb. $240 for four of us including two bottles of bubbly and a generous tip.

For some perspective, in 1974, W1 and her parents took us out to dinner at Maxim's de Paris in Chicago. The bill, for four of us was $125 including a bottle of wine.

That's $750 today.

How's the ribeye?

Is there a Michelin three star steakhouse with its own pasture and slaughterhouse in back? Asking for a friend.

For me, I unfortunately dont have enough good taste to notice a big difference between a USD$25 dinner and a USD$250 dinner, (or maybe even a USD$1.5 chicken and rice dish from a street stall).

Part of it I am sure is the atmosphere, service, freshness of the food, memories, skill of the cookers, and location, etc. I would expect it to be "top notch". Plus, I would assume that most of the kitchen staff are the top league of cooking, so probably make more money than average kitchen staff. (Kind of like a top level sports team vs. a minor level sports team)

(I remember reading an article about a waiter at (I think) a San Franciso top restaurant. He was pouring wine for a customer and the customer was sitting by a wall. So, he poured the wine over the incorrect shoulder. He was immediately fired. Not sure what he could have done to do it correctly, but the restaurant manager fired him. LOL)
