Expensive
Restaurants

10. Masa (New York City)


Masa, located in New York Citys Time Warner Center, is
an experience as much as it is a meal. Chef Masa
Takayama advises diners to dress comfortably to allow
for a three hour (!) multi-course culinary event. There is
no set menu; customers are seated and presented with a
series of fresh dishes straight from the kitchen. The
atmosphere is incredibly calming, potentially to quell the
shock you might feel upon seeing the $350 per person
bill not including tax or tip. Or drinks, for that matter;
indeed, one can splurge on a $400 carafe of Kikuhime
sake, or a $1,500 bottle of 1995 Chateau Margaux
Bordeaux.

9. Misoguigawa (Osaka, Kobe, and


Kyoto) This restaurant features French food with a Japanese twist;

as the website explains, the cuisine harmonize[s] French spirit and


Japanese culture. The restaurant is located in a former teahouse in
central Kyoto, and has been serving kaiseki-style French cuisine since
1981. The eight-course seasonal menu will set you back at least around
$162. A fancier version of this multi-course experience costs $270 with
tax, and must be ordered at least five days in advance! Some of the
mouth watering and pricey dishes include beef filet with potato souffls,
buttered French beans, and roasted pumpkin. For dessert, there are many
delicious options including a chocolate marquise with berries in
pistachio cream sauce. The space also features a number of private
rooms for events or simply a specialized dining experience.

8. Le Pre Catelan (Paris)


This trendy restaurant is located in the heart of the Bois de
Boulogne park in Paris, France. The dishes start at around $85,
and desserts at $43, but diners would be hard-pressed to find an a
la carte special under around $130. For $255 including tax and
service, one can enjoy a seven-course meal. For a summer bargain,
the restaurant offers a five-course meal for (only!) $199 a person.
Some of these pricey dishes include prawn ravioli in olive oil
broth, or veal paired with cinnamon-scented puree. Diners have
also raved about the excellent bread and wine, important staples
for any French restaurant and for life.

7. Beige (Toyko)

Beige sits at the top of the Chanel building in Tokyos Ginza


neighborhood. The restaurant is yet another outpost of famed chef
Alain Ducasse, who was recently bestowed a lifetime achievement
award at the 2013 Worlds 50 Best Restaurants. Ducasses
restaurants, cooking schools, cookbooks and consulting activities
had revenues of around $15 million in 2002, and are sure to have
increased in the proceeding years! Beige offers French cuisine with
seasonal Japanese ingredients. Features include a $259 cep and
matsutake mushroom menu, or a three-or-four-course dinner for
$147 or $190, respectively. When youre done, you get a chocolate
in the shape of a Chanel button. For around $25, of course.

6. Gordon Ramsay (London)


Gordon Ramsay is a well-known chef, restaurateur, and television
personality. You may recognize the Scottish chef from popular
shows Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares or Hells Kitchen. Ramsays
restaurants are extremely prestigious; indeed, his signature
restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, in the Chelsea
neighborhood of London has held 3 Michelin stars (thats a big
deal in the restaurant biz) since 2001. Their seasonal specials
menu includes a series of courses for 185 GDP, which is around
$320 USD. Then, of course, theres an added 12.5% gratuity,
making the total closer to $355! Theres also an 11,000 GDP bottle
of red wine around $18,850 available (in case youre
wondering, its a 1900 Chateau Margaux 1er cru class). The food
is supposed to be delicious, but you may have to live off of noodles
for the rest of the month.

5. Restaurant Crissier (Switzerland)

This restaurant has recently received 3 Michelin stars, and has


been part of a nearly 40-year succession of legendary chefs. The
restaurant offers a full sensory experience, and has received
enormous praise from both professional rankings and customer
reviews. In 2013, Chef Benoit Violier was voted chef of the year in
Switzerland, earning 19/20 in the prestigious French restaurant
guide Gault Millau. Some dishes include white catfish saint-gillescroix-de-vie cooked with lemongrass, summer roasted
mushrooms, and red fruit souffl. A set meal offers multiple
courses, but costs $415.

4. Aragawa (Tokyo)

Forbes rated Aragawa the worlds most expensive restaurant in 2006, and while
we dont rank it number 1 now, its still in the worlds top 5. Located at the end
of a long hallway in the basement of an office building in the Shinbashi business
area of Tokyo, it only seats 22 people. This restaurants particularly subtle
location and limited seating is testament to its exclusivity. Its known for the
absolute best Kobe beef in the world. Other delicacies include charcoal-broiled
Sanda Beefsteak or a single whole salmon smoked fresh every week. Sanda Beef
is a particular specialty, since the animal must meet very specific criteria
prize cattle only to be selected and designated as Sanda beef. The broiling
process includes ten separate stages! Not including beverages, the prix fixe
menu will put you out around $341 per person, but this special dining is worth
it if you can spare the change.

3. Restaurant Le Meurice (Paris)


As it is a property of award winning chef and
restaurateur Alain Ducasse, its no surprise this
luxurious, Versailles-inspired restaurant makes the list.
The room is decorated with Crystal chandeliers, bronze,
and marble, and overlooks the Jardin des Tuileries. For a
cool $524, one can taste three specialties plus a selection
of cheeses and desserts. Not including drinks, of course,
which can round up another couple hundred dollars.
Some specialties include Guinea fowl pie (only about
$156), lobster with potatoes, veal sweetbreads, and
decadent selections of fruit and chocolate.

2. Ithaa Undersea Restaurant (Maldives)


t

This exotic restaurant was rated the most beautiful restaurant in the world by
the New York Daily News in 2014. Ithaa sits five meters below the Indian
Oceans surface, and offers an 180 degree panoramic view of the coral gardens
by which it is surrounded. (Ithaa means mother of pearl in the Maldivian
language of Dihevi). The restaurant serves European cuisine in a six-course set
dinner menu, starting at no less than $320 per person without drinks or tips.
The menu includes such indulgences as reef fish caviar and Black Angus beef
tenderloin. Children are allowed at lunch, but not at dinner; they request a
smart dress code, of course. This exotic restaurant is another truly unique
experience but it comes with a price tag that typically comes in at $500 per
person, if you make modest menu choices.

1. Sublimotion (Ibiza)
The worlds most expensive restaurant, Sublimotion described by head chef
Paco Rancero as radically different is located on an island typically
better known for partying than Michelin-starred chefs and expert culinary
experiences. However, this restaurant is adding a touch of undeniable class
to the party island.
Sublimotion is in the Hard Rock Hotel in Playa de Bossa, allowing only 12
patrons in the restaurant at a time (making it seriously exclusive). The 20course gastro-sensory meal is intended to elicit an emotional experience.
an experience which may or may not include crying upon receiving
the $2000 check. But this really is a once in a lifetime meal: Technology,
psychology, design and of course world class food all come together to make
this a unique dining adventure (with the price tag of a full adventure holiday).
Everything up to the humidity of the microenvironment is adjusted as you eat
and experience the meal.
