That's very much a function of location. The last time I checked here in San Francisco there were 12 Michelin restaurants within walking distance of where I live. I suspect the density in Manhatten or Vegas or Paris would be even higher.
I should also note that there is a real difference in food and experience quality between one star Michelin restaurants and three star. At the three star joints your dates purse gets its own stool. I'm not even joking.
- hedora 5y agoAlso, by the time you get to 3 stars, requests like this are taken in stride (leading to a pile of tailored dishes). I'm not sure where the cutoff is: "We're a party of 6 with 3 different food allergies, and one each of a pescetarian, vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, devout Jew/Muslim and devout Hindu." I only slightly exaggerate vs. personal experience.
- cercatrova 5y agoIt depends on the restaurant. Some 3 star ones will actually not serve you if you have dietary restrictions as their tasting menu is (apparently) custom made to have a very specific pathway of flavors. They warn you about this on their website before booking.
