Whats the most expensive meal, that you ever paid for? And was it worth it?

$150, not even slightly. Fancy restaurants can suck my cock. It's literally paying for status. You can see the markups. Especially when you're paying 2x the price of a bottle of wine.

Expensive ass steakhouse for a 60 dollar steak, 20 buck soup, whatever other ungodly amount for the cocktail.

On the other hand, it eased my guilt of buying an 8 ball. At least that lasts for more than an hour and gives you much better results.

probably $40 and yes

every time I've had an expensive meal, someone else paid for it. usually for work, or if I'm with my father.

130 dollars for some sushi at a trendy restaurant on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.

Fuck no, but it was any best friends birthday, that asshole.

I've been to a number of meals that were $120-$350 a head, before drinks, but I don't think I've ever paid for a meal that was more than $120 a person total.

It's not an everyday thing and I definitely think it's worth it, especially when someone else is paying.

Brazilian Steakhouse
It really wasn't worth it
It was essentially a buffet where you didn't have to leave your table
There were a lot of different choices, but none of them were really anything that I couldn't find a mid to high end grocery
They were really good, but honestly, my favorite thing they served me wasn't even meat, it was this grilled pineapple they smothered with cinnamon
I always said I'd go back multiple times, but the second time was such a dip in quality that my joy the first time could only be explained by my lack of experience, and subsequent amazement, with the setting

At least in the US most Brazilian steakhouses are overpriced gimmicks.

They're kind of like Red Lobster in that they're where black people with a little money but no taste take out a date to impress her. Usually you have to specially request meat that's cooked anything less than medium-well, if that gives you any idea.

I've been to a number of them for birthdays and whatnot and it's always an unpleasant experience that I would never choose to pay given the option.

Narisawa while I was living in Japan. Was $850 altogether for 2 people and the cheapest bottle of wine they had.

Spent ~250 on 4 course meal + wine pairings for my best friend and myself.
It was really fucking good. worth that much? definitely not, but i dont regret it

Paid $85 a pop for me and a girl at Barley Swine in Austin. 11 course tasting menu, worth every fucking penny.

ITT - poor fags who actually remember what they paid for meals.

I remember I expensed like a 1000 dollar meal for 3 people when I took two interns for lunch.

:) I'm the reason they capped it to 50 dollars for non clients and interns after recruiting season.

I once got drunk with some friends and dropped a 2L cola on the windshield of a car parked down in the lot. Most expensive drink I've ever had.

It was you?

>A rich person not knowing how they spend their money
That shit is for lottery winners and spoiled kids who won't have any money when their parents are dead.

Lampreia in Seattle - around 10 years ago, it was a prix fixe menu, i forget how much it was, but it was the best meal i've had in my entire life. i still think about some of the courses.

$70-90 for three people

Poorfag life.

50 bucks. that's including an 9ish dollar tip. I just rounded it up to 50 because everything was wonderful. yeah it was worth it. I was there for about an hour and really enjoyed myself. whoever the cook was knew how to cook a medium steak. it was a steakhouse so it's probably all the guy does. it was really good. thinking about it makes me want a steak.
Also, I was there with family after a funeral so I was big timing it a little bit to let the extended relations know I don't give a fuck about how much my dinner costs. I would never spend 50 bucks on dinner in normal circumstances.

5 Beers and a few shots of hard liquors..

18 years later I still pay the bill...

Damn, this thread makes me feel guilty. I have probably spent 250 or so on a meal for myself, but I know I have paid 50-70 many times for a meal worth 15 delivered to my door when drunk. And thats after spending 20-100 on alcohol.

Ate at a bistro on Les Champs Elysee, Paris. (2010, before it became a shithole).

Had a large plate (and by large I mean insanely fucking big, biggest plate of food I've ever been given at a restaurant) called a "Cherbourgoisie". It was a pile of the best German saurkraut served hot, with a sampling of top quality sausages from Germany and France. Sausages ranged in color from pitch black, to bright red, to white. Came with boiled potatoes.

Dish cost something like 65 Euro.

I couldn't finish it, and they made me throw it away because they didn't let you carry out leftovers. It was incredibly delicious, but probably not worth that much.

>Les Champs Elysee, Paris.
biggest Tourist trap ...

>they made me throw it away because they didn't let you carry out leftovers

LOL fuck if i would pay and not take leftovers

>2010, before it became a shithole
millenials

I was just about to post exactly this.

and I suppose it's "Choucroute garnie a l alsacienne"

Alsace is French since Louis XIV.. over 400 years

immigrants, bruh.

racist

since when immigrants can eat a 65€ dish...

texas de brazil isn't bad

what does it feel like to be fucked in the ass?

the closest I can think of is paying $600 a night for full service staying on a tea plantation in India, where we were constantly being fed ridiculous food. It was worth it. Random nepali vegan cuisine, barbecued tandoori chicken, fine brandies and local wines and shit I didn't even recognize but tasted amazing coming at my face all day in an unbroken stream.

The only thing was you couldn't really ask for a cup of coffee without getting funny looks, it being a tea plantation and all. it was kind of a given that you were expected to drink the fucking tea.

Most I've ever spent at a restaurant is probably around $25 for myself. I don't see the point in blowing a lot of money on restaurants.

Dunno, Ive only been pinky fingered.

$2200

Noma Japan for 2 one wine one juice pairing plus like 20% gratuity

not including the like $1000 flight each plus hotel

About $110 for a seven course meal, wine included. All in all it was worth it, but I was thirsty at the end.

Never ate out, never, so mom told me to do it and she'd pay for it. Still don't do it because it's not worth x15 the price of the ingredients. I get no joy out of a restaurant meal because I just think about how much my family/friends overpaid for the meal they bought for me. Which sucks. It's like a handicap.

Man, I love it when they put green pubes on my plate.

It's free to stand outside the restaurant and mug the people leaving.

that place is great.

most expensive meal i had was $300 something at Gotham bar and grill in NYC. worth it.

Either Claridge's or Clos Maggiore in London, can't remeber which cost more but were both upwards of £250

Can't remember what it is that I paid out of pocket for but I ate the biggest, best entree platter at the sushi restaurant in the casino near me on player's points which would have cost $85. Chef's selections and it was great.

$120~ on a bar tab during a football game

there was a sandwich in there but it was mostly booze

~$50 AUD for a sushi plate at Tsjukiji fish market in Tokyo. I would say it is worth it for a one off experience.

It was some of the freshest and best fish I have ever eaten.

Pic related.

About $1,500 for lunch for three at Nobu.
No regrets because I wrote it off as a work expense.

>be a good waiter and change the head count to 8 on my invoice

That was only $50?

Fuck, I should have gone there when I was in Japan

yeah that was at one of the better places too. It also came with an egg custard dish as well on the side.

I've had a few meals that were $150-$200 a head, excluding drinks.

The most recent was an Argentinian steakhouse in London. Very nice it was too.

About £40.

Absolutely not worth it.

The best meal ive ever had was at an Italian restuarant and 3 courses was only £20.
Its San Marco in Tottenham, if anyone is interested.

~$400 for dinner and a few drinks for for 2 at Aquavit and Momofuku ko

why bother spending hundreds of dollars on a meal if you're just going to forget it?
just go to fucking burger king if you're hungry peasant

i thought tipping/gratuity was supposed to be rude in japan?
Like it's seen as a handout or something.

Every year a local dim sum place serves like a 12-course meal with open bar for chinese new years. I go every year I can and I think it's around $100 a head.

Totally worth the fuck out of it.

>Usually you have to specially request meat that's cooked anything less than medium-well
isn't that just because it's cooked on a spit?

$200 and something at a brazillian steakhouse. It would have been worth it if i had been in normal shape, usually i can eat nearly a kilo of meat, but i had been starved/no exercise for the 5 weeks previous, so i only managed about 300g total. To be honest when you get to that level of rpice, you are paying more for the surroundings and shit, though i understand meat has a big markup in dining.
I am also spoilt by having several of the best butchers in the country in my town and surrounding towns and for some reason the meat is cheap compared to in a supermarket, so i can regulary eat large amounts of very tastey meat.

10,000yen/head bbq course at a famous Kobe beef restaurant in the hills of Nishinomiya somewhere.

Main course was a decent-sized slab of Ishigaki-beef slow cooked as a steak. It was divine.

Is that raw sausage?

I went during lunch $40
Totally worth it

Den Rode Cottage outside of Copenhagen. 700 for 4 people. Me and my brother enjoyed the fuck out of it. My parents, not so much.

$50 for me and a girl i was dating at the time. It was at some italian grill, the only thing i really enjoyed was the Calamari. I was like 14 at the time iirc.

Since I am a broke college student and before that was a broke high school kid the most I ever spent was around $70 for me and the gf, once at a Nepali restaurant and another time at a Japanese restaurant. The Nepali one wasn't worth it, I just got some sort of tikka chicken.

Around $150 for two at a sushi place in a resort in the Bahamas. Totally not worth it. I've had much better sushi for half the price. I was very disappointed.

Well I didn't exactly pay per say but my culinary class in highschool went to the white mountain hotel restaurant that we paid for with the money we made with the open to the public class restaurant and it was painfully good

What's that thing at the bottom? Looks like squid or something

Looks like eel.

I generally don't eat out, but I do recall getting charged around 15 or 20 euros for a single beer in one of the cafes in the Grand Place in Brugge.

Yeah. it's eel. Poorly cooked too.

not the most expensive but the most disappointing
in a stylish sushi restaurant i chose "4 sushi rolls with eel" for 5€ (+ maybe drinks and sides extra, dont remember)
i expected 4 tubes, maybe not with the DIN A4 sized nori sheets from a supermarket but still something filling
after 40 minutes of waiting i get 4 bottlecap sized bites, with half a matchstick worth of eel inside
we didnt stay long and everyone got a döner for half the price afterwards

No, tipping just isn't done out the US, but if you're a sucker they'll take the tip everywhere

~$100 USD in Mustique

The food itself was pretty good and if I was living there making Mustique money or in a business meeting I would say it would have been worth it.

But it was really just a Friday night pissup so, no.

I bought like $60 of bbq the other day. I was drunk and it all looked so good, got a shit ton of brisket and beef ribs. Oh. and potato salad and pecan cobbler for dessert.

Totally worth it, was fucking delicious. Also had plenty to take home cause I bought several pounds of meat.

Like £30 for 2 at a Brazilian steak house in Portugal

It was fucking awesome, included in that price were 2 caipirinhas

Family is from Brazil but I live in England and the Brazilian steakhouses here don't really compare, although there is a decent one nearby

I don't really spend much money on food at restaurants it seems, can't remember anything more expensive recently

$300 at a French restaurant, was totally worth it

ha ha lets laugh at him for being a tourist and coming from a different part of the world so he doesnt have local knowledge and just goes to obvious and probably ok places and has a good time. what an utter pleb!

Spent 300-ish for a 3 course meal on Valentine day at this place called Claudette in NYC for mea and my girlfriend (it was a $95 pre-fix meal for one person). It's was absolutely fantastic and a great experience.

Braised pork cheek. Salmon tartar and some dessert that was some sort of creme brulee. And cocktails of course

I work in a restaurnt so I guess I can appreciate the food on a deeper level than those that have never

noma isnt a japanese restuarant and i also think it mightve gone to the hotel that hosted them for the popup

>I work in a restaurnt so I guess I can appreciate the food on a deeper level than those that have never
You mean paying 500% markup?

Theres a shit ton of work that goes in to 2 and 3 star meals. There were maybe 20 diners altogether for the dinner service at the 2 star place I went to in Tokyo, but there were atleast 30 people in the kitchen.

Spent around $350 AUD on a tea ceremony in Shanghai, totally worth it

I kid you not
A $25 dollar buffet at a local casino

I'm a poor motherfucker and if it's more then that, they can suck my cock, I'll make my own food.

$3.50 for your mom's pussy worst business decision of my life.

>paying $600 a night for anything in india

they definitely saw you coming

~550 usd including wine at fäviken magasinet, totally worth it.

looks like eel

...

NC inspired tasting menu at Moto in Chicago. Nine courses with pairings for a couple hundo. Definitely worth it.

it's not run by indians, it's a british hill station. I had to book it months in advance and all the other guests were brits and a couple swiss people.

>steamed fresh asparagus
>$9

What?

>roasted garlic mashed
>$9
I hope this at least involved several pounds of potatos.

where ?

Are you me?

no Drinks?

450 for a solo meal, 300 a plate on a date, 140 for some corporate dinner bs. 650 highest tab ever at a hotel bar over 30 hours for some corporate bs. I remember all of them except for the first half of the solo meal.

I think like 55 euros or so. Appetizer, main, and a dessert. No it wasn't worth it. They were trying too had to be all artsy. I mean the food was good , but the portions were way too fucking small, and I was the smallest guy of the group. I can't even imagine how hungry the rest left

I get trying to be artsy with food, but not with the main fuckin course. Or at least make sure that your food accomplishes it's first purpose: satisfy hunger

Chicken Cottage bargain bucket, sour cream and a pot of beluga caviar. About £120. Eaten at home in my boxers. Totally worth.

My NIGGER.

$120 for a filet mignon and side of mac n cheese. i wasn't even hungry

Umi in Atlanta, spent $340. No it was not worth it at all. Fucking snobby knob gobblers.

>upwards of $400 per person
holy shit
is Narisawa michelin starred?
