DISAPPOINTING Visit to a 3 Michelin Star Restaurant - Sketch

#finedining #sketch #pierregagnaire #3michelinstar

My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission - to find inspiration in gastronomy.
I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Today, we’re heading to London, England. 

There are 4 restaurants in this building, each with its own thing going on.
Today, we have a reservation in the fine dining restaurant they call the Lecture Room and Library. 

The man behind the menu is 2 time, 3 Michelin-star superchef, Pierre Gagnaire.

Check out my 1 Michelin Star Restaurant:

Beware…you might just get invited by the chef to a remote island where you think the chef wants to redeem himself, but instead he will not let you leave the island. If that happens, remember to order a cheeseburger

Honestly .. it is incredible that there is someone that is willing to be straightforward regarding the quality of service and food rather than the smoke and mirrors of the decorum and reputation.

[gonzerro]

Some of the mistakes were on much lower level than 3*. Let's be honest - leaving a guest hungry and dry is simply difficult to understand.

This is becoming one of my favorite food/restaurant related channels and I have no doubt you will reach 1 million subscribers eventually.

This might be my new favorite YouTube channel holy shit a Michelin star restaurant owner reviewing other Michelin restaurants and not afraid to be critical either. Cheers Alex this is great content

I had dinner here literally this week…! I also left pretty disappointed and when I told friends, colleagues etc. they were all surprised by my reaction and thoughts.

Seeing this video the same week of my experience really makes me feel validated!

We went for the 7 course tasting menu and had similar lulls in timings, sometimes over 30minutes between courses and then two courses coming within 10 minutes of each other - there was absolutely no flow.

Great channel, the YT algorithm is really working!

The moment he tried to cut that nano sized lobster piece and complained about the knife was the best part.

[MrAssChapman]

You've really taken a lot of the feedback to heart and have improved accordingly. I love the annotations for each course that give us all the reference we need without slowing down the video. Maybe a full list of all the courses at the end would be a great addition too. I always like to get a full sample like that when I'm scoping out restaurants.

You might also want to discuss value a little more. A 165 GBP/ 200 USD 3 Michelin Star restaurant seems quite noteworthy to me. I've paid double that for 2 stars before. I can definitely see why service would slip with those kinds of margins, but absolutely unacceptable at 2 stars and unheard of at 3. Then for all of the artsy extravagance none of that food is anything I'd be shocked to find at a traditional stuffy French place. If you just showed me the decor I'd guess the food would be some kind of creative molecular gastronomy experience.

Anyway keep up the great work. A lot of fun watching the channel grow. I'll keep watching every video that pops up. Hopefully you can get a booking at El Celler de Can Roca.

Watching these videos has me spoiled. I know that visiting a three Michelin star restaurant takes considerable time and money, so it isn’t like an episode can be posted every day, but after watching all of your videos, I’m impatiently waiting for more😂love the content

3 Michelin stars indicates PERFECTION. Anything less than that would understandably leave you feeling underwhelmed.

[austinkuklinski]

I like your fair and honest approach to restaurants and how they could improve.

[frimofu]

You don#t hold back with your critique, but that is the only way to improve. Also you are very fair and explain what is wrong and how it sould be done

[Guitricks]

By far one of the best YTB channels about food. Not often you can watch true opinions about restaurants.

[Kaiviti]

A new fan you just got. It’s nice to see the authenticity especially the flawed mistakes you unfortunately endured during your dining.

[SD-Maxi]

Nicely done ATG. Very balanced and helpful review. I like how your content is enthusiastic and punchy without dragging on forever like some videos. Keep it up

[salman_iram]

Alexander, I appreciate how you incorporated the viewers' feedback and added the description for the dishes. Your commitment to improve every video, coupled with your passion for gastronomy, will surely make this channel blow up soon!

Also, I'm yet to encounter the problems you faced at Sketch, even at a 1-Michelin fine dining establishment. I hope Sketch takes notice to improve, and the Michelin inspectors, to reconsider their assessment.

[kirnpu]

So wonderful to see a review like this! I would not have been happy with the time lag or the multiple dishes being served for a course. It actually hurt to watch him show you the selected wine bottle and then walk away...

[ishayklivaner]

Alexander you bring a creative delivery with a great visual overview and i cant wait to see what youd come up with every time. Please keep it going!

[jwkayk]

Huge fan of this channel. Keep up the quality uploads and keep enjoying this journey!

[kabirpalamadai]

Im always excited to see what you'll upload next 😁. Keep up the good work. And don't forget to have fun.
