All looks GREAT!!! We love V&A!!! Only 33 more days!!! The only mistake according to my DH is that you didn't order that carmelized banana gateau....it is so wonderful!!!! And none of the other courses look familiar....which makes me twice as excited!!!

 

[engle]

You haven't lived unitl you've eaten at V&A!!! I feel sorry for those who don't think the pics look FANTASTIC!!!!

For those in the know, DH and I recently ate at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago. While the experience was fantastic, the food just didn't compare. V&A all the way!!!

Wow

That looks fantastic. I might just have to convince DH that we NEED to eat there in Feb!

That's great. Do you have to notify them in advance that you would like the CT menu? If so, how far in advance?

I asked when I booked if I could do the CT menu and was told I couldn't, was going to ring the restaurent but didn't get round to it. I was in WDW from the saturday with a meal at Narcoossee's on the sunday and my meal at V&A on the thursday so as I was there early I went in and asked. When I got back to my room there was a message on the phone saying I could have it, it was well worth the money and I can't wait to do it again

your photos of the food look wonderful - thank you for sharing, since we'll never ever eat there! (not DHs type of food!)

I cannot wait until our February 2010 when we get to do this again. Your pictures look amazing - thanks for sharing. This will help tide me over in the meantime.

I miss Victoria and Alberts! It was the best $400 we ever spent. It was also our honeymoon so when else would you be able to justify spending that much. I didn't get to take pictures of everything but it was great to see yours to remind me of that amazing meal. For those who say it doesn't look appealing I have to be a bit judgmental in their knowledge of true fine dining. VA is fine dining it it's peak. The presentation is great but subtle, the flavors are amazing. The melon soup with sour cream AMAZING! We did the wine pairings too which where phenomenal and it was nice to have a waitress and waiter (you have two people serving you) who knew the food , knew what and how the wines matched in flavor and the regions. the harp player was great too not to mention the bathrooms. Ok I'm a little obsessed with VandA and I'm hoping that I can go again when we go again. It was a great experience!!

Hey Twilightlover,

I understand what you mean by OBSESSED with V&A!!! I am too...do yourself a favor and do the Chef's Table next time....the obsession will only increase!! I laughed when you mentioned the bathroom...it does add to the total experience!!

 

[BriarRosie]

This just got me in the mood for our dinner there next month!!

You took the words right out of my mouth! I'm looking forward to my third visit to V&A, but this will be my first time in the main dining room.

I've consistently had 6 years between visits.

I want to do the chefs table for or Magical Gathering for all the couples. How much is it $650 for the entire table? You can have up to 12people though yes?

No, it's priced per person, so you don't get a discount with more people. Last time we were there it was $165 per person and an additional $70 per person for the wine pairing.

I think that might be the Chef's Domain details for Citrico's.
As someone else said, it's priced per person at V&A.
