Shared with the caption ‘Now this is just outrageous’, it shows a Snapchat screengrab of the receipt, with the diner  complaining  ‘That’s just taking the p***’.

The receipt shows that almost £30,000 of the meal was spent on expensive alcohol, while a gold-encrusted steak came to £850 and 20 Baklavas came to £600.

The cheapest items, besides the water, were the mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms which came to £12 each.

Commenting on the receipt, one Reddit user wrote: ‘Daylight robbery. At least with Michelin you have somewhere that’s been stringently deemed to charge high amounts. And it would cost about 37x less!’

However many users felt the customers were to blame, with one writing: ‘Receipts from this place are just the latest social media flex. I don’t know why anyone should care.’

Another added: ‘Why do people keep posting receipts from a s***** restaurant? Is it some sort of anti-flex to say “I’m rich but also very very stupid and don’t have good taste”?’

Elsewhere one said: ‘I’m not commenting on the price cos that’s been established as largely from alcohol that these people specifically selected’.
