Le Manoir and Patek Philippe.

My first time at the Le Manoir Oxford and I have to say it was absolutely fabulous. The food was exceptional and the staff were so friendly. Made even more special by the fact that the legend himself Raymond Blanc was there. Some pictures to try and put o...  

Yes but worth it.

I tried but they only take Rolex as payment. 😜 M.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ true.

Thank you.

Well worth it. M.

Lol!

Good one

Went twice many years ago.

Great food, service and location but my guests and I thought at the time some of the staff a little too attentive while we dined. Expensive of course. Also eaten at his former restaurant, now Brasserie Blanc in Walton Street, Oxford. My claim to infamy- s... 

Yes that is a shame.

Yes the staff were very attentive but I wouldn’t say overly so. Maybe they have calmed it down a bit. Just explained the dishes and made sure the wine was flowing. I would definitely go again but perhaps in a year with no watch purchases 😜. M.

The food looks so delicious πŸ˜‹ Miles !

For me, the salmon presented on blue plate/strap is more tasty though ! πŸ˜ƒ

THAT salmon was smoking hot

Limited edition Salmon

 
 By: Patekfinity : January 21st, 2022-12:18
That Salmon is very limited….definitely the dishes are the side orders and the main course is the Salmon!! πŸ˜‰

The King of fish.

Thank you. M.

Thanks Gordon.

The 2 go nicely together like a the wine with the food. M.

Delicious!

Both the food and the watches!

Thank you.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 22nd, 2022-08:23
I think the new 24 is a great looking watch. M.

Used to be one of my audit clients so know the place very well.

Looks as if you had a superb β€œspread” and your post has reminded me I must go back.

Yes you really should.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 22nd, 2022-08:25
I’m told it has changed a fair bit in the last 5 years. I tried to have a quick tally up with 2 sittings a day. It is a surprisingly large turnover. Great business. M.

Thank you

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 22nd, 2022-08:27
And yes I think I got the pairing for the day spot on. Which makes a change for me. M.

Last time I was there was more than 20 years ago at Christmas ... the whole place is just lovely

I would like to go more often but a sumptuous meal like that requires an overnight stay or two which makes an astronomical weekend Looks like you had a wonderful time..

Thank you.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 22nd, 2022-08:29
And yes an overnight stay would have been ideal but as you say I’d have to sell a kidney or watch 😜. I’m sure it has change a lot in 20 years so you should defiantly go back. M.

Ha Ha I bet my friend.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 22nd, 2022-08:30
The food was almost as good quality though. 😜. Thank you my friend. M.

Watch is easier on the eye than me.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 22nd, 2022-09:05
To be honest. 😜. But that would be so good and well over due. Let’s make it happen in 2022. Maybe a GTG in UK ?? M.

Exquisite!

Absolutely.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 22nd, 2022-08:31
Thank you. M.

Food looks sumptuous but the salmon is the piece de resistance..

Bless you.
