Whats the most expensive meal, that you ever paid for? And was it worth it?
>>7855790
$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.
>>7855790
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.
>>7855790
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

Narisawa while I was living in Japan. Was $850 altogether for 2 people and the cheapest bottle of wine they had.
>>7855790
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.
>>7855790
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.
>>7855989

That shit is for lottery winners and spoiled kids who won't have any money when their parents are dead.
>>7855790
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.
>>7855790
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.
>>7855790
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.
>>7856305
>Les Champs Elysee, Paris.
biggest Tourist trap ...
>>7856305

LOL fuck if i would pay and not take leftovers

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.
>>7856342
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
>>7855790
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.
>>7856391
Man, I love it when they put green pubes on my plate.
>>7856338
It's free to stand outside the restaurant and mug the people leaving.
>>7855888
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.
>>7855790
$120~ on a bar tab during a football game
there was a sandwich in there but it was mostly booze
>>7855790
~$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
>>7856653
That was only $50?
Fuck, I should have gone there when I was in Japan
>>7856661
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
>>7855915
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
>>7856365
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.
>>7855864
>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.
>>7855790
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.
>>7856391
Is that raw sausage?
>>7855836
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.
>>7855790
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
>>7856653
What's that thing at the bottom? Looks like squid or something
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.
>>7857579
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
>>7857026
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.
>>7855790
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
>>7856309
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
>>7857026
noma isnt a japanese restuarant and i also think it mightve gone to the hotel that hosted them for the popup
>>7858746
>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?
>>7859071
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
>>7855790
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.
>>7855790

>>7856343

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

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

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.
>>7855804
My NIGGER.
$120 for a filet mignon and side of mac n cheese. i wasn't even hungry
