Instagram influencers have leapt to the defence of controversial chef Salt Bae - defending his notorious £630 steak at his extortionately expensive restaurant.
Sisters Ellie and Daisy O'Donnell described the slab of meat as "something else" when they tried it at the Nusr-Et Steakhouse London in Knightsbridge, south-west London.
The extortionately priced restaurant charges as much as £9 for a glass of coke, £100 for a gold-gilded burger and £60 for a single tempura roll.
The menu received fierce backlash online as being overrated, overpriced and clearly aimed at people with more money than they even know what to do with.
For example, the Evening Standard's restaurant critic Jimi Famurewa branded the eatery as having "the capital's worst burger" and said the restaurant wasn't worth the hype.
He said: "The one thing that won’t arrive, no matter how long you wait, will be the moment that anything at Nusr-Et Steakhouse London comes close to justifying the hype."
But Instagram influencers Ellie and Daisy were quick to defend the chef, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, after followers said they were dining at the restaurant just for their social media platform.
Their 584,400 followers were able to watch the video of their expensive night out in the capital this weekend.
Salt Bae was on hand to act as their own personal waiter and even sprinkled salt on their £630 steak in his signature style.
Ellie and Daisy captioned the video: "Best restaurant," adding: "Actually the food was something else."
Salt Bae opened his 15th site, and first London restaurant, in September this year.
