1. SubliMotion, Ibiza: About 1,850 to 2,000 euros per person
The most theatrical dinner on the list. Guests sit at a single table in a room where projection, sound and scent change between courses, cooked by chef Paco Roncero. Sources put the food-only price between about 1,850 euros and roughly $2,000, depending on the year, and it seats only twelve guests in a season that runs from May to October.
Price range is the spread between two 2026-dated sources; drinks are extra.
2. Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet, Shanghai: About $850 to $1,500 per person
Chef Paul Pairet’s ten-seat restaurant blends technology, music and food, and the address is only revealed on booking. Two sources disagree on the price, with one at about $850 and another at about 10,500 yuan, roughly $1,500, food only.
Range from two sources dated 2024 and 2026.
3. Alchemist, Copenhagen: From about $800 (5,600 kroner) per person
A theatrical tasting menu of up to 50 small ‘impressions’ over several rooms. The base price is 5,600 Danish kroner for food, about $800, while the all-inclusive Sommelier Table is 16,600 kroner, about $2,200 or more, and a wine pairing adds 9,500 kroner.
Price from a restaurant guide dated 2026; we show both menu tiers.
4. Masa, New York: $750 to $950 per person
The most expensive sushi counter in the US. One guide lists $750 before drinks and another $950 including non-alcoholic drinks, and a third puts a chef’s reserve omakase at $1,200. It reportedly lost a Michelin star at the end of 2025 but kept its price tag.
Range from several 2026 guides; counter seat numbers differ by source.
5. Piazza Duomo, Alba: 1,100 euros with wine pairing per person
A three-star restaurant in Piedmont, famous for its truffle season from September to December. One guide gives 650 to 1,100 euros per person with wine pairing.
Price is a range from a single guide dated November 2024.
6. Guy Savoy, Paris: 515 to 760 euros per person
The Paris tasting menu restaurant of chef Guy Savoy. One list gives 515 euros, another 760 euros, which looks like a price revision, so confirm before booking.
Spread of two lists, one dated February 2026.
7. Le Cinq, Paris: About 670 euros per person
The restaurant inside the Four Seasons George V in Paris, listed at around 670 euros.
One February 2026 list.

9. Per Se, New York: $425 to $685 per person
A New York restaurant with views of Central Park. One guide lists its nine-course menu at $685 food only, another at $425, so we show a range. A wine pairing adds more.
Range from two sources, 2024 and 2026.
10. Urasawa, Los Angeles: About $595 per person
The old version of this list included Urasawa at $400 a person. A February 2026 list now has it at about $595, which tells you how fast the top has moved.
One February 2026 list, compared with the old price of $400.
What changed in 2025 and 2026
Prices at the top rose, with Masa now listed at up to $950 and Urasawa at about $595. Masa reportedly lost a Michelin star at the end of 2025 without cutting its price. Outside the top ten, London’s priciest tasting menu in a July 2026 guide is Sushi Kanesaka at 420 pounds per person.
What drives these prices
- Few seats. Restaurants with ten to twelve seats must charge a lot per head to cover a team of chefs and servers.
- Theater and technology. SubliMotion and Ultraviolet charge for rooms, projection and effects.
- Ingredients. Truffles and premium seafood explain Piazza Duomo and the sushi counters.
- Scarcity. Months of waiting lists let a restaurant raise prices without losing guests.
