Question

What is the most expensive restaurant in NYC?

Answer 1

I had lunch in the Time-Warner building last week (wanted to try Porter House - a very pleasant meal). We were looking at the Masa menu - unbelievable! - Bar Masa's prices are much more down to earth - their tasting menu is $40. We said we will definitely try this. Next door to Masa is Per Se. I stopped to speak to a woman who was just leaving and she gave me her menus - one titled, I kid you not, "Per Se Tasting of Vegetables" - $250.00. The other menu "Per Se Chef's Tasting Menu", also $250.00 sounds wonderful, oysters, foie gras, poached Nova Sotia lobster, and other great sounding things, but vegetables for $250? Lettuce soup, Waldorf Salad, artichokes, mushroom ragout - so what? Per Se may not be the most expensive, but this price is the most ridiculous sounding to me.

If I were going to spend $300 for dinner, it would be prepared by Alain Ducasse.

Answer 2

The most expensive restaurant in NYC is Masa, a Japanese restaurant in the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle. There is no menu and only 26 seats. A prix fixe meal varies from $300 to $500 per person.

Answer 3

If you want to go to a NOT so crazy expensive place; go to il Cortile in little italy; Entrees should be between $20-30. They have good good food; the atmosphere is amazing; and its a really romantic place:) I'm not sure the exact location; but you can do a search for il cortile nyc and see if that's something you'd be interested in!

Answer 4

Masa, there are only 17 seats though, and the guy who is the chief is alway there (500 per)

followed by a restrunt next door called Per see( 250 per

followed by the soon to be change Alann Dusice(220 per)

but for what I have read La Berinane(140) and Daniel(140 per) are almost just as good

Answer 5

TOP 5 EXPENSIVE RESTURANTS----->1) Alain Ducasse at the Essex House Restaurant(if u like american with a french style), 2) MASA(if u like Japanese food) 3) Kuruma Zushi(if u like sushi), 4) Per Se(American) and 5) Daniel( another one with French cuisines). Hope that helped! I recommend the Alain Ducasse its the best the food is out of this world and the service is phenomenal.
