Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere near a Michelin starred restaurant. Presumptuous, overpriced so called food isn't my thing.
15+ Times Fine Dining Restaurants Went From Creative to “What on Earth Is on My Plate?”
Getting a Michelin star is an important event in the history of any restaurant. But sometimes, while trying to impress guests and restaurant reviewers, restaurant owners forget that real people actually come to them to eat real food.
Bright Side loves all kinds of food, so we want to show you the photos from people that just wanted to eat, instead of enjoying an art installation.

I am surprised that anywhere would allow a restaurant to use lumps of wood or old bricks near food. they don't seem like things that can be cleaned enough to serve from.
I feel like that ipad one is something that happened when those devices were new and those fancy restaurants wanted to be extra ?
I never trust that these types of photos are from real restaurants. They are so zoomed in, I start imagining someone’s house around it.
Exactly !
