There are times when we want to save and eat at home. Other times we indulge ourselves by going out for a nice dinner at a place that delights us with its food and atmosphere, but to reserve at the restaurants on our next list, you'll need to be sure to have a pretty full wallet. We tell you about sky-high priced dishes and overpriced menus at the 10 most expensive restaurants in the world.
Masa, New York
$350 per person (service and taxes not included)
The reason why the Japanese restaurant Masa is so expensive is that it is both a meal and a show. That's right, Chef Masa Takayama recommends that diners dress comfortably for the marathon three-hour menu that includes the freshest sushi of the day from the market. There are no fixed menus, and what is served is at the chef's discretion; you can accompany your dinner with a bottle of Chateau Margaux Bordeaux for $1,500.
Le Pre Catelán, Paris
$255 per person (service and taxes included)
This trendy restaurant in the heart of Paris does have a menu and does not force you to order from a set menu, although with starters at $85 and desserts starting at $50, it may be your best bet. Now, if you have the chance to visit Paris in the summer, they offer a five-course menu for only $199 per person.
Beige, Tokyo
$259 per person (service and taxes included)
This restaurant may be in the Japanese capital, but the cuisine they serve is of French technique and schooling. The special thing about the place is that it is located on the top floor of the Chanel building in the luxurious shopping district of Ginza. Remember that for dessert you can order a chocolate piece shaped like a Chanel button, at $25 per piece, of course.
Gordon Ramsay, London
$355 per person (service and taxes included)
You’ve probably heard of Chef Ramsay; besides being a famous chef and entrepreneur, he is a television personality. This restaurant is located in the famous Chelsea neighborhood and only serves organic products of the highest quality for his English tasting menu. The place has maintained three Michelin stars since it opened in 2001, so supposedly, it is worth what you pay.
Crissier, Switzerland
$415 per person
The chef of the restaurant says that his menu is a sensory experience to be enjoyed with all the senses, and it must be with a price that exceeds all limits. The interesting thing is that the menu is never the same and can have fewer or more dishes depending on seasonal ingredients. At least the restaurant is located inside an old and spectacular French-style mansion.
Now, if you want to create your own elegant dinner at home and invest in delicious dishes, you can create an entire luxurious menu without needing to spend those stratospheric figures. Here are some ideas:
Blinis with caviar
Steamed lobster with butter
Lamb rack with parsley
Filet mignon with béarnaise sauce
Chocolate truffles
