Dress code for a 1* Michelin restaurant?

[oracleslave]

I would say go with the suit and tie. Nothing wrong with dressing up for a special occasion.

[chef]

whats the restaurant? there's a chance some may have been to it.

personally i'd say smart casual is fine, in my experience only usually the very snooty places expect shirt and tie and they usually highlight it on the restaurant website.

........ who probably wear socks with thier sandals, change thier jeans every month (if they need it or not) and have worn the same Metallica T-shirt since the mid-70's

Damn I hate stereotypes

undergarments!

As the dog says, harsh but fair

[Drewster]

Damn, I want one of those t-shirts seeing as Metallica only formed in '81

Can we add 'know-alls' to Drewster's list?

........ who probably wear long grey socks with thier sandals, change thier jeans every month, thier shreddies once a fortnight (if they need it or not) and have worn the same Quo T-shirt since the mid-70's, and are anally retentive nit-picking tossers proud to proclaim thier intimate knowledge of trivia (and who quite likely speak in a somewhat high addenoidal voice)....

HTH

This is one of my pet peeves; the suggestion of having to have a specific dress code for a particular restaurant.

Let's get something straight: YOU'RE going there and YOU are spending YOUR hard earned wedge.

If the maitre'd doesn't like it then I'd suggest he go forth and **** himself.

I've rocked up at a Michelin *d restaurant before without a tie and was offered one by the maitre'd which I refused on the basis that I was having an evening off and I don't intend to wear a tie when I'm not working.

Obstreperous bastard, moi?

Can't be me then as I'm not wearing any skiddies or socks, just a rather nice Boss collarless shirt, Paul Smith jeans and Boss plimsolls plus my voice is a bit raspy due to smoking too many cheap East European ciggies. You must be talking about AtW

They're called skiddies for a reason...

Just as long as you do wash your jeans (at least) once a month, 'cos I'm fairly sure they will need it.

We used to call them 'O-backs' as you already have 'Y-fronts.'

With around 50 pairs of trousers to choose from I can let them be washed yearly but don't, weekly is enough.

...But I'm not absolutely sure what the dress code will be ...

I just wear whatever I feel like. Usually jeans and a shirt - no tie. I've never felt out of place, never had any trouble from anyone.

There's always a few idiots who are dressed to the nines... but the staff treat them with the contempt they deserve.
