Food to blow your mind

As a marketing student who has been taught and re-taught the principles of marketing for four years straight, I am constantly trying to avoid products which attract me because of their publicity; and search for products and services which are good for what they are, and not for what I am being told they are, who is using them, or the image they give. 

This is my view of the perfect quality-price relationship, in which the product quality is exceptional from an objective perspective, regardless of its marketing, and its price is assigned accordingly –here, we must note that I am a bargain hunter who is very typically unwilling to spend on products and services (a cheap person some would say, I call it demanding!). The point is, that in my price-quality relationship understanding, I have found a mind-blowing deal which I cannot let slip. This is the amazing food offered at the Mirador de Ulia restaurant in San Sebastian, Spain. They provide a fusion of traditional and innovative cuisine, a blend of flavours which could happily cause a whole meal to go silent, only reflected through the oohs and aahs of those bewildered by the meal. 

Because I don't usually carry a camera around I do not have pictures of the extremely tender and flavoursome duck which had been cooked for 12 hours, or the creative cheesecake which was the perfect taste, quantity and consistency to finish off the meal. Even the coffee was extraordinary!! 

And all this for dishes worth 20/30 Euros. Believe me, not only do critics like this from a foodie sceptical not arise often, but the people who assign Michelin stars agree with me. And the views are mind-blowing. And the staff are so friendly. And the wine is smooth. And, and, and.... the list could go on forever.
