A Michelin-starred restaurant has hit out at a blogger’s “cheeky” request for a free meal in exchange for “online exposure”.

Garrett Byrne, owner of the Campagne restaurant‏ in Kilkenny, Ireland, says he gets around ten similar requests from bloggers a year and has “had enough”.

The chef proprietor shared an email from an unnamed blogger on Twitter, who wrote: “In exchange for a vegan meal for two, we would be happy to provide significant online exposure on both our blogs and social media accounts.”
