Most Expensive Restaurants – I am going to guess that you fall into one of two categories on this one, the ‘Oh my god, who would ever pay that much for something to eat?’ camp…or those that think the most expensive restaurants are ‘worth every penny’. Personally, I think that you can choose to eat in such a place or not and therefore – if you have the means – it is well worth the money.

The reason it is worth the money is that these restaurants are over and above in every way, not just in price. They are flawless. It is not so much about the food that you eat, as it is about the overall dining experience.

I am a big fan of the Forbes ‘Most Expensive…’ articles, but the information floating around at the moment dates back to their last article on the most expensive restaurants dates back to 2007. So, I am guessing the prices have changed a little since then. I would love for anyone to correct this list as we try and build up a more up-to-date collection.
