I first went on this two years ago. It was a wonderful experience. This year was also good, but I didn't enjoy the new restaurants as much as I enjoyed the restaurants we tried at the previous event. The tour is a champagne caption followed by starter, mains and dessert in three different restaurants. However, our sequence of restaurants was not the one we booked. And neither did the wine flow quite as freely as I remember it did last time - I felt it was a bit stingy, except at our last restaurant, Banca.
The restaurants need to treat this as a marketing exercise to tempt us back. As our tour was the "New restaurant" tour, you would have thought that they would try quite hard, but it didnt feel like that!
Shame really - a good opportunity missed!
