Your gourmet type
✦ The Purist
Twenty courses, one counter, no phone.
You book the tasting menu months ahead, you sit at the counter and you notice when the rice is a degree too cold. For you a great dinner is a piece of craft: precision, silence, a sommelier who reads the room. You would rather eat one perfect langoustine than three good courses.
Your evening: A three-star counter at seven, the full pairing, a walk afterwards to think about course nine.
