MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT 2013: KITCHO, KYOTO EATERY, CHOSEN BY DAILY MEAL

Japan, France and Switzerland are home to some of the world’s most expensive restaurants in the world, with a meal at the most lavish eatery estimated to set diners back $600 a person.

According to The Daily Meal, the most exorbitant meal in the world is served at Kitcho restaurant in Kyoto, Japan, which British chef Heston Blumenthal calls "extraordinary."

Described as the high temple of kaiseki -- a ceremonious multi-course affair that originated with Japanese tea ceremonies -- diners at Kitcho can expect to shell out about $600 USD for dinner and drinks.

Rounding out the next most expensive restaurants is Le Meurice in Paris, where a meal will cost about $509 USD. But with a gold-gilded dining room inspired by Versailles, a dining experience at the mythical restaurant makes guests feel like royalty, suggests The Daily Meal.

Coming in at No. 3 is Masa in New York, where a tasting menu at the Japanese, three Michelin-starred eatery will run about $450 USD.

The list includes three restaurants in Japan, two restaurants in France and two in Switzerland.

So... places to avoid listed by some homosexual blogger. Am I supposed to care about that or give some blogger credence?

[Anonymous No.4958446]

To me, those are places to avoid.
Anything listed by a blogger is something that I avoid. Simple and done.

You guys don't know the essence, you know?
The important thing is information.
Format doesn't matter, and you should read what is written.

[Anonymous No.4959403]

of course kaiseki would be the most expensive.

I'm disappointed that the west hasn't invented a more ridiculously expensive course, though. let's have a $15,000 meal consisting entirely of seahorse tails, goosetrich (goose-ostrich hybrid) eggs, rattlesnake sirloin and granny smith apple moonshine reduction.

You're an idiot if you go out to expensive restaurants. Fuck me, I could buy nine weeks of groceries with $600.

[Anonymous No.4959706]

60,000 yen is 1/6 of my 1-month pay, and Kyoto is very distant.
So I wouldn't have a chance to visit without a big anniversary of something.
No, I might not have a chance in my life, possibly.

>muh calories per penny!

The point of a nice restaurant is not to ensure your survival until the next meal can be scrimped together. They're meant for people whose survival is assured.

It's for the experience of it. Like going to Disney World instead of just renting Pirates of the Caribbean or something.

I'd still never go though because muh impoverished practicality.

I went on that ride in the early 1990s. It wasn't worth $600.

I'd probably go on that alone if I had the money. guy only cares about dining experiances. probably the best guy you could ask.

Oh, I see.
You're' saying that we should go to KITCHO with clutching $600 tight in our hands (those are covered in sweat), aren't you?

[Anonymous No.4961830]

HOLY SHIT, even the web page for this place is fucking pretentious as fuck. Goddamn ridiculous.

Good boy, nice boy.
Don't be angry so much because I'll take you to Kitcho.

[Anonymous No.4961907]

As long as we are talking about expensive shit...

Today I went to Picasso, the two Michelin star restaurant in Vegas, for a whiskey tasting. We had johnny walker gold reserve, platinum 18, blue label, and king Henry V. This was paired with their foie torchon w/ raisin fig chutney, milk fed veal chop, roasted turbot, quail with lentils, and chocolate Grenache with mango sorbet.

On the way out, they gave us all a bottle of JW blue with our name engraved on the bottle.

This was all free, naturally. Fun times! Was really a great stroke of luck I was invited.

Pic related, their torchon. They did a little "egg" of JW platinum and mango.

It's just placed on a plate with a little drizzle, that's pretty average IMO

Nigga it's a little everything. No good restaurant serves such tiny portions.

Naw man, it's like super rich. Any more than that would be way too much of it, you'd get pretty sick of it after that much.

So you don't go to restaurants? Because every single eatery in the world has been mentioned on someone's blog, from the most expensive restaurants to the filthiest hole. Every single one.

Half or more of $600 is for make an atmosphere to space, it would be enough about $200 if take just dishes.

For example, you take a pizza set and pay $15.
It is also possible to eat in your room alone, but you will feel even more delicious to eat with friends or lover. Though it is same 15 dollars, different in taste.

At Kitcho, they are directing the four seasons that make feel of spirit "Wabi, Sabi" on Japan using a their wide and large site. It will bring out the best flavor of the dishes when let meal in the space of one with nature.

Incidentally, Kitcho (吉兆) means an auspicious sign.

Sorry in poor English, but I hope you could understand that about I want to say.

Are you serious? Have you seen the portions at The French Laundry. They are smaller than anything I've ever had, but you leave completely full after nine fucking courses.

[Anonymous No.4964535]

I... ok? I think I get what you're saying.

Although I think that Kitcho is probably more of an "Art installation" than a restaurant

Thank you for your power of reading comprehension.

And I say you are right. It is able to say that Kitcho and other many famous restaurants are the art museum which is based on cooking.

that sounds like a fairly decent amount of money.
i don´t see why you wouldn´t save a hundred bucks per month for a while to then treat yourself.

expensive restaurants make me horny as hell.
I fucking love being wined and dined. The fancyer the better.
My current bf took me to a restaurant where some guy with a bow tie cut up my fish for me. Would've fucked the shit out of him but I was too stuffed.

Eh
Fact is that I love expensive restaurants

yeah, pt barnum said a sucker born every day. Maybe I am wrong, but that is dumb. 4-5 hundred usd per meal? what are they serving? loin of unicorn and golden gosse eggs? your money, and free to spend it as you wish. the differnce 'tween a ford and a lincoln, or a chevy and cadilac is 15 k and a name plate. like flying. 1st or common herd. only be in the air< a day. and the plane lands at the same time. keeping up with who ever is a fool's game. I have a toshiba 36 tv and kenwood in home dvd/ vcr sterio and five speaker. it's nice. remodeled the whole family room. spared no expence. shit happens. 5 years hence? watch most tv on a twenty old magnavox. I don't have an expensive cell, no coverage round here. not sad, just the way it is. me and extended family ( and the yuongest at 54) chose to rein( pun implied) it in a bit. several years ago spent six thousand , mostly on credit cards. at 7 -12 interest. you mis a payment- 24. I like ck, and 4 chan, but that is something never get out of. not jew ( actually am, a bit, also scotts ) calm down. how many sweaters, pefrume or junk do you need? Black friday indeed. will become blue feb. when you get those bills.

I'm certainly not wealthy and not trying to sound pretentious - $600 is out of my price range....

But is anyone else shocked that the number is that low? Just last night I was watching a show on E! about where celebs hang out in LA and they non-chalantly mentioned a place that's $500/plate.

It's easy to find places that are $100-$200 per person. Just suprised that $600 would be "most expensive"

[Anonymous No.4966762]

There's gotta be some places that are even more expensive. What's the restaurant in that giant hotel next to that Muslim cube thing?
