4. Pizza “Louis XIII”, $12000
To try such a pizza, you need to pay 12,000 dollars. It is served in the city of Agropoli, which is located in the south of Italy. The pizza "Louis XIII Pizza" is prepared by chef Renato Violo.

5. Dessert "Fisherman on Stilts", $14500
This dessert costs $14,500. On the island of Sri Lanka, there is a luxury hotel called The Fortress, which houses the Wine3 restaurant. It prepares the dessert called The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence. This dish contains the following ingredients: Italian cassata (a biscuit-based dessert) that tastes like Irish Cream liqueur; canned mango; canned pomegranate; sabayon made from Dom Perignon champagne.

The glass in which "The Frrrozen Haute Chocolate" is served is decorated with 18 carats of gold and diamonds. The spoon for this glass is made of gold and decorated with diamonds. You can take the dishes back after eating the dessert.
8. Yubari King Melon
The price of this fruit is $26,000. This juicy and sweet melon with orange flesh is a hybrid of two muskmelons.
The variety got its name because it is grown in a greenhouse complex in the small town of Yubari near Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido, the second largest island in Japan. The greenhouses create ideal conditions at every stage of the melon's development. Humidity, temperature, watering, fertilizing - everything is precisely regulated and changes depending on the needs of the plants at the current stage of growth. But the main secret of the melons' taste, according to breeders, is the soil containing volcanic ash.
9. White truffles
One kilogram of white truffles costs approximately $230,000. White truffles are among the rarest and most expensive mushrooms on the planet. Imagine how much half a kilogram of truffles costs! White truffles, native to Northern Italy, are a product that most mere mortals will never be able to touch. These truffles smell like a locker room full of naked, sweaty bodies, and they are eaten with everything from pasta to potatoes. Due to global warming and the use of insecticides, truffle yields are constantly declining, making them an even more difficult delicacy to obtain.
10. Arno Strawberry
The Arno Strawberry ice cream dessert costs about $1,400,000. You can try it by visiting the Arno restaurant in New Orleans. Each berry for this dessert is marinated in a very rare wine. The finished dessert is decorated with a 5-carat pink diamond from the Ernest Kessel collection.
11. California hot dog "Capitol Dawg", $145.49
This giant sausage roll from Sacramento is fast food that will set you back a pretty penny. In addition to the sausage, it comes with mustard, fried onions, gherkins, greens, garlic-herb mayo, smoked bacon, peppers, and olive oil, as well as cranberry-pear-coconut sauce, dried cranberries, and Swedish moose cheese. Apparently, that last ingredient is the most expensive.
12. Jamon Iberico de Bellota "Albarragena", $180 per half kilo
Imagine a child who gets a sandwich with THIS kind of ham for school! You'll spend a lion's share of your salary on a kilogram of jamon. I wonder why it's so expensive? After all, pigs eat simple food, and to make jamon, you don't need to do anything special with the meat - just dry it and wait patiently...
13. Buddha Jump Over the Wall Soup, $190
This unusual soup is served at Kai Mayfair in London. Ingredients for the soup include: shiitake mushrooms, sea cucumbers, Chinese ham, abalone, shark fin, ginseng and pork. Order it at least five days in advance of your visit, as some ingredients need to be obtained in advance. We wouldn’t be surprised if the chef personally caught the shark to get the fin…
14. Platinum Club Sandwich Von Essen, $197
Speaking of jamon Iberico, this is the most expensive club sandwich in the world, served at the Cliveden House Hotel in the UK, which uses it as an ingredient. It also has quail eggs, Poulet de Bresse chicken, Italian sun-dried tomatoes and sourdough bread that is fermented for 24 hours. In principle, everything at Cliveden House is pretty expensive – but this sandwich beats them all.
15. Fugu fish, $280
Traditional Japanese dish, fugu is not only an exotic, but also a dangerous product: this fish is very poisonous, and improper preparation can literally kill the unlucky eater. Chefs undergo special training before preparing fugu for the first time. If you find a fugu dish at a seemingly affordable price, you should avoid such a restaurant: who knows, who knows...
16. Lobster Frittata, $1000
A frittata is just an omelet. But not this frittata! When you order it at Norma's in New York, you get 12 ounces of sevruga caviar on top of a 1.5-pound lobster. The frittata itself is just six eggs with cream and green onions. Almost 3/4 of the cost of the dish is the cost of the caviar!
17. Sunday "Golden Abundance", $1000
Available at two Serendipity 3 restaurants in New York and Las Vegas, this dessert must be ordered 48 hours in advance and is one of the rarest sweets in the world. It consists of five scoops of Tahitian vanilla ice cream made with Madagascar vanilla and topped with an edible sheet of 23-karat gold leaf, syrup from the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porcelana, chocolate from cocoa beans from the Venezuelan village of Chuao, chocolate truffles, marzipan cherries, gold dragees, and Armagnac. The dessert is served with a small bowl of salt-free caviar with passion fruit, orange, and Armagnac. Ever wanted to know what caviar looks like in desserts? Now's your chance.
18. Glamburger, $1770
The Honky Tonk restaurant in London specializes in American cuisine. In 2014, the restaurant's chef came up with the most expensive burger in the world.

The monstrously expensive burger is served with champagne and mango juice. You can order a mini glamburger for just $25.
19. "Pizza for the Poor", $2400

20. Black Watermelon Densuke, $200 - 6000
These rare black watermelons are native to the Japanese island of Hokkaido. They sell at auction (usually the first harvest) for between $3,000 and $6,000. In August 2014, however, you could get them in Toronto for much less — $200 Canadian. But since then, the watermelons have gained popularity.
21. "Chic Pie", $9484
Another dish designed to wow the crowd is the “Big Pie” from the Lord Dudley Hotel in Sydney, Australia. It’s a pie with premium beef, lobster, and truffles. If you thought you’d finally found a dish on this list that doesn’t have gold leaf, you’d be wrong — it’s here, too.
22. Faberge Chocolate Pudding, $34500
And the most expensive dish in the world crowns our list, which you can try for _only_ $34,500 at the Lindeth Howe Country House restaurant. This pudding was created by British chef Mark Guibert. Four types of Belgian chocolate, peach, orange, whiskey, gold leaf and caviar in champagne are its components. The dish is decorated with an inedible real diamond, and the pudding is served with expensive dessert wine Chateau d'Yquem. So don't be shy, eat your salary for more than three years - this pudding is worth the savings!
23. Berco's Billion Dollar Popcorn

25. Bouillabaisse Soup - Imperial, $500 per serving for two
The most expensive soup can be tried in Bouillabaisse Imperial, Moscow. One of the most difficult soups to prepare. The broth for this soup is cooked for about two days.

27. The most expensive sushi
Where to try it: Order from Angelito Arenato Jr., Manila, Philippines Price: $$4300 for 5 pieces To prepare this sushi, Chef Angelito Arenato Jr. uses Japanese rice, muscovado sugar, 70-year-old artesian water, 12-year-old balsamic vinegar from Italy, foie gras, Norwegian salmon, mango, pickled cucumber, crab meat, wild saffron, and mayo with butter. But that's not the most important thing. To make the sushi priceless, they are wrapped in edible 24-carat gold foil, decorated with 12 pearls and 4 diamonds of 0.2 carats each.

29. The most expensive steak
Price: from $400 for 200 g. Steak from marbled beef of Japanese Wagyu cows. You may ask, what is so special about these cows? Well, they live in luxurious conditions: they are fed only the best herbs, given beer and red wine to drink, rubbed with sake, and massaged daily (necessarily with classical music) so that the meat is exceptionally tender and melts in your mouth.
30. Dumplings
Quite unexpectedly, pelmeni are included in this list of expensive restaurant dishes. But these pelmeni are surprising (and not only because of the price), although they are also alarming. And all because the filling includes exotic products. The dish itself has an unusual blue-violet color. Three types of meat are used for the filling: veal, pork, and elk. The secret ingredient is the gland of the deep-sea lanternfish. The signature pelmeni are molded in the kitchen of the Golden Gates restaurant, opened in New York by Russian emigrants. You can indulge in a gourmet meal by ordering a portion of eight pieces and paying 2400$ for it. A double portion, consisting of sixteen pelmeni, will cost 4400$. In general, it's a matter of taste, and of course, the thickness of your wallet.
