Top 10 most expensive restaurants in the world

I'm sure everyone who reads this article loves to eat. But do you like gourmet food? And if so, how expensive can you afford? We present to your attention a list of the most expensive restaurants in the world. Your everyday “expensive” restaurants don't stand next to them. I don't even fully understand why the food prepared by the restaurants below is so expensive.

In most cases, this is only due to the environment or the special atmosphere of the establishment. These restaurants only force you to pay for the tables, not even for the food served, which turns out to be just a very expensive cover. However, I am sure that you will be able to have a good time in these places. Bon Appetit!

10. Alinea, Chicago, USA

In tenth place, we decided to place a restaurant from the American city of Chicago. The institution opened to the public on May 4, 2005. The owner and chef is Grant Akats. There are only two restaurants in Chicago that have earned the highest three-star rating from the French Michelin Red Guide.

One of them is "Alinea". One of the restaurant's guests was critic and journalist Sam Sifton, who eventually wrote a positive review for the New York Times. The name of the restaurant comes from the symbol of the same name.

9. "Varvara", Moscow, Russia

This restaurant was the idea of the chef Anatoly Komm. He always loved to cook, but entered the restaurant business at the age of forty. He is a geophysical engineer by education. Comm opened Versace and Ferret boutiques in Moscow, and his restaurant Varvara became a full-fledged hit in the city. If you are looking for really tasty food, then you will not find a better place in the whole city, but the quality comes at a price.

For a full dinner, you will have to leave about $ 270, not counting wine or any alcohol. You know, wine actually doubles or even triples the final bill. Such is the math.

8. THE FAT DUCK, Berkshire, UK

This restaurant is known as the best in Britain, which is why it is, of course, the most expensive in the country. The kitchen is run by the chef Heston Blumenthal and his dishes are truly unique. The most curious thing about this specialist is that he studied all the intricacies of the kitchen on his own. If you're looking for a delicious meal and a full dinner, then be prepared to pay around $ 300, excluding any wine. All this is included additionally, but then count on a check of $ 700 or more.

7. "MEZZALUNA", "THE DOME AT LEBUA", Bangkok, Thailand

You can find this restaurant on the top floor of the tallest building in Bangkok, famous for its excellent views of the Chao Phraya River. Japanese mackerel in peppery tomato broth, French sweet lamb, duck with double mushrooms and lobster with beets, pickled onions and green salad are the restaurant's specialties.

You need to know at the same time that if you are very hungry, you should not expect to gorge on in this institution. We are sure that you will be wondering what the catch is. However, we recommend that you eat a little before visiting the restaurant or prepare for the fact that you will continue to order for a long time.

6. FRENCH LAUNDRY, California, United States of America

If you are looking for a free seat in this restaurant, then you will have to be patient for a long time. Booking is possible no earlier than two months in advance, so if you wanted to go there today, then it is better to postpone this intention for a couple of months. The average house check is a whopping $ 957.

Typically this includes $ 270 per person. You also need to be aware that this restaurant has a very strict dress code, so please dress appropriately. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to your table in advance.

5. "SOLO PER DUE", Umbria, Italy

This is the smallest and most expensive restaurant in the country. Dinner at this establishment will cost you around $ 300 for local cuisine. This includes sheep cheese, Abruzzi sausages, wild mushrooms and berries, as well as meat, fish and vegetable dishes, homemade bread. All this is complemented by delicious wine taken from the cellars. You can entertain yourself with a closed fireworks display, this is something very original.

4. "ALAIN DUCASSE AU PLAZA ATHENEE", Paris, France

The restaurant is located in an old-fashioned building full of warm light and amazing architecture. What else did you expect from the most romantic city in the world? The establishment will literally empty your wallets, starting with snacks, you will have to pay about $ 250 for langoustine with caviar. On average, each visitor will pay about $ 500 for dinner, and this price does not include wine, 35,000 bottles of which are in the restaurant's cellars.

3. "MASA", New York, United States of America

Chef Masa Takayama flew to New York with the idea to create this restaurant. New York Magazine wrote: "Any price can be paid for the highest quality meat." Now I no longer agree with this, but most people unquestioningly pay about $ 400 per visitor, having the opportunity to dine in a place like this. You should be aware that the above price does not include taxes, gratuities and sake.

2. "ITHAA", Maldives

This establishment can be considered the best in the world when it comes to underwater restaurants. The restaurant is built at a depth of about five meters below sea level and allows visitors to enjoy stunning views while eating. The construction cost exceeded $ 5 million. It is also interesting that the restaurant has only 40 seats. The average bill at the establishment is about $ 300 per person, but customers happily pay that money for the treat on offer in the form of Western food and a rich selection of seafood. Now this is one of the most attractive places for me.

1. "ARAGAWA", Tokyo, Japan

I'm not a big fan of Japanese food, but that doesn't change the fact that ARAGAWA is the most expensive restaurant in the world. The establishment serves only one type of food - steaks. These very steaks can and will bill in the order of $ 600 per person. This place has been considered the most expensive restaurant for three years now. To be honest, I would never go to this place, even if I had that kind of money, simply because I don't like Japanese cuisine.
