The prices in the most expensive restaurants in the world are justified not only by the use of rare and fresh products, but also by the efforts of the best chefs, the most luxurious interiors, and most importantly - the unique impressions that accompany the process of eating.
But all this does not cancel out the truly astronomical prices, reserved only for those whose wallets are as deep as the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
And if you dream of getting into the most expensive restaurant in the world, we will tell you how much it will cost and where it is located.
10. De L'Hotel De Ville, Crissier, Switzerland

The average price for lunch is $445.
This legendary French restaurant is run by chef Anne-Sophie Pic, one of the few female chefs in the world to have received three Michelin stars.

7. Restaurant Guy Savoy de Paris, Paris, France
The average price of lunch is $536.
This modern French restaurant is known for the impeccable freshness of its ingredients and the richness of its vegetable dishes. Since 1996, it has held three Michelin stars, the world's greatest gourmet award, awarded only to the world's best restaurants.
The chefs at Restaurant Guy Savoy de Paris boast that the products they serve to customers have "never been inside a refrigerator" because they are picked and prepared on the same day.
6. Aragawa, Tokyo, Japan
The average price of lunch is $570.
This modest space in the basement of an office building houses the world's most expensive steakhouse. It serves only Kobe beef, the elite cut of meat from black Tajima bulls raised in Japan's Hyogo Prefecture.
During their lifetime, they were cared for in a way that many people could only dream of. In particular, the animals were regularly massaged and given beer and sometimes sake to drink.
5. Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan
The average price of lunch is $570.
Designed as a traditional tea house, Kyoto Kitcho offers modernized Japanese dishes such as boiled blue crab with vinegar jelly, barracuda sushi, and maitake mushroom caviar with medicinal properties.
This restaurant has received three Michelin stars and is considered one of the most beautiful in Japan.
4. Ultraviolet, Shanghai, China
The average price of lunch is $570.
One of the first (but not the last) luxury restaurants to try to create a multi-sensory experience for its diners, its setting consists of 10 chairs surrounded by four bare walls.
When diners enter the room and begin to eat, they are transported into a simulation of a rainy day in Britain, an autumn forest or the French countryside.
Ultraviolet's chef Paul Pairet boasts that the restaurant has the highest staff-to-patron ratio in the world, with three staff members per guest. That probably explains the high price tag for joining Ultraviolet's elite club of fans.
3. Masa, New York, USA
The average price for lunch is $595.
In one of the most expensive restaurants in the USA you can try incredible sushi made by chef Masa Takayama. This is not a typical restaurant, the chefs only prepare the products that are available on that day. And the cooking process lasts for 3 hours, so you will definitely have time to get ravenously hungry.
2. Per Se, New York, USA
The average price for lunch is $685.
New York is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world. And it is not surprising that it is home to two of the top 10 most expensive restaurants in the world.
Per Se chef Thomas Keller has written numerous cookery books and has been awarded three Michelin stars. His restaurant offers gourmets a nine-course regular or vegetarian menu that combines classic French recipes with the finest ingredients.
The restaurant also boasts an award-winning wine collection of 2,000 bottles.
By the way, The French Laundry is also one of Keller’s favorite brainchildren, who popularizes French cuisine in every possible way.
1. Sublimotion, Ibiza, Spain
The average price of lunch is $1,850.
The world's most expensive restaurant is almost three times more expensive than the previous entry in the list. Although chef Paco Roncero would prefer you to think of it as "the cheapest experience that can change your life."
Sublimotion is located in the basement of a hard rock café in Ibiza. It consists of a table for 12 people and an empty room. But when you receive guests, the room is transformed by a combination of light and virtual reality.
Twenty-five employees, including chefs, illusionists, DJs and waiters work together to create a show that includes laser light shows, unique desserts, delicious drinks and virtual reality adventures. This amazing emotional and gastronomic experience lasts about 3 hours.
