The unostentatious pale building is the world-renowned Fat Duck restaurant opened in 1995 by Heston Blumenthal. It won three Michelin stars in 2004, was awarded the accolade of Best Restaurant in the UK in 2008 by the Good Food Guide, and Second Best Restaurant in the World in 2008 by Restaurant Magazines International Academy. The menu features an A La Carte listing at ninety-five pounds and a Tasting Menu at one hundred and twenty-five pounds. Amongst the gastronomic delights to be found in the Tasting Menu are Snail Porridge, Salmon Poached in Liquorice Gel, and Ballotine of Anjou Pigeon. From the wine list a glass of fine burgundy, say, Chambertin, Grand Cru, Dom A Rousseau, 1990, is priced at £1,295.
