Expensive restaurants

In the list of the most expensive restaurants of Forbes magazine, the 15th place was taken by the old Moscow restaurant "Savoy", formerly known as "Alpine Rose", where at the beginning of the 20th century there was a private art club, which included artists from the Bolshoi and Maly theaters.
And this is what the top ten most expensive restaurants look like:
(The dollar amounts quoted are the price of lunch per person, including one soft drink and tip, or a flat price for lunch.)

1. Aragawa (Tokyo)
277 dollars

Aragawa gets its famous beef from a single farm nearby, and it really melts in your mouth. The restaurant is recognized as the best place in Tokyo to taste meat, which, incidentally, is served only with pepper and mustard. All other condiments are considered blasphemy (especially fun for those allergic to peppers and mustard).

2. Arpege (Paris)
211 dollars


Chef and owner of the extra-expensive Parisian restaurant Arpege, Alain Passard, has turned vegetable cooking into an art. While regular customers complain about the high prices, guests may regret walking past the restaurant everyone is talking about. The menu, which is dominated by vegetables, will appeal to anyone who does not skimp on banknotes and calories.

3. Eigensinn Farm (Toronto)
213 dollars


A two-hour drive north of Toronto is the legendary private farm Eigensinn Farm. Everything that is served here in the restaurant of the same name is grown, hammered and prepared right on the spot. The eight course menu costs $ 213 per person, excluding wine. The location is not convenient, but it is one of the most unusual food service establishments in North America, and it is worth the money.

4. Sketch (London)
176 dollars


Chef Pierre Gagne and Algerian restaurateur Mazuz have collaborated to create Sketch, one of the most impressive places in London. The restaurant's new French cuisine, which Gagnier borrowed from his Parisian restaurant, the three-star Michelin, is receiving rave reviews. The restaurant has impeccable service, its own DJ and even a rotating art exhibition.

5. Petermann`s Kunststuben (Zurich)
151 dollar


The six-course menu (no wine) at Petermann`s Kunststuben in Zurich includes foie gras, lobster zucchini, scallops, mushroom soup and pumpkin chutney. Dessert changes every week, but Napoleon Pineapple Cake has continued to be popular. Chef Rico Zandonella has earned a reputation as a culinary specialist in Europe for his French cuisine.

6. Tetsuya`s Restaurant (Sydney)
135 dollars


To get to Tetsuya`s Restaurant you need to wait more than a month. And the ten-course French-Japanese menu isn't cheap. The menu changes frequently and you can never be sure what will be caught. But classics like gazpacho with spicy tomato sorbet, tuna and grilled ocean trout are often served.

7. Vitrum (Berlin)
118 dollars


The décor of the 63rd Vitrum restaurant, with its black marble columns and Murano glass chandeliers, is reminiscent of a Venetian villa. The menu is mostly Italian, and chef Thomas Kellerman makes no secret of his passion for fish.

8. Steirereck (Vienna)
114 dollars


Steirereck's wine cellar with 35,000 bottles of wine, a cheese cellar, a European bread list and a huge selection of sherbet: these are the reasons to visit the Steirereck restaurant in Vienna. To create a special atmosphere, the owners of the restaurant transferred ancient beams and arches from one of the castles in Styria.

9. Yamazato (Amsterdam)
108 dollars


Yamazato, the famous Japanese restaurant at the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam, may be a little expensive, but it does have a special selection. The excellent seven-course seasonal menu costs $ 108 per person, but there are other set of menus, some of which are inexpensive, ranging from $ 84 to $ 30.

10. Zalacain (Madrid)
108 dollars


The three-course menu at Zalacain restaurant costs $ 108 per person, but the very opportunity to experience the service is worth every cent spent. When the restaurant opened in 1973, it was the outpost of new Basque cuisine in Spain. Today, the menu is still innovative, featuring exotic seafood and a variety of Spanish game. Guests, both men and women, are offered cigars. A strict dress code is required to visit the restaurant.

Toilet restaurant


Toilet-themed restaurants are common in China. In such an unusual establishment, customers sit on chairs that imitate toilets, and food is served in a mini-bidet, toilet bowls, and pots. Toilet paper is used instead of napkins and towels.

Such a restaurant is decorated with various shaped urinals and toilet seats on the wall. The sound design matches the theme.

Hospital


The Aurum restaurant in Singapore resembles an operating theater or a morgue from the inside. The lighting is the same as in the operating room. Customers sit in golden wheelchairs and food is served on operating tables. Utensils used for food include medical ones. Not far from "Aurum" there is also a small eatery "Clinic", in which the atmosphere corresponds to the name: the waitresses in the uniform of nurses serve clients here, and there is medical alcohol in the bar menu.

Bon Appetit!

Pet friend


In 2005, Dorothy Moore opened The Lunch Dog in the USA, the first cafe for dogs and their owners at the same time. This is one of the few restaurants in the United States that is ready to feed both people and animals at the same time. The menu includes dog cocktails, specialty snacks and desserts that are safe for furry pets.

Condom

Cabbage and Condom are popular condom-themed restaurants in Thailand. These restaurants promote safe sex and family planning ideas. The menu consists mainly of creative dishes such as "preservative salad". And along with the invoice, the visitor is brought a package of condoms.

Bed


The Downy Blanket restaurant promotes bedding. For convenience, customers are offered slippers at the entrance to the restaurant, and the table is served right in bed, on special tables. The "Duvet" is famous for its rich bar menu.

Rough Service

If you are amused by the rude service, say, as a nostalgia for Soviet times, then go to Chicago, to the restaurant "Dick" s Last Resort. This is the place where you can not only enjoy the rich menu, but also have fun watching the waiters who joke rudely with clients and slightly mock each other.

Prison


The prison theme in the hotel and restaurant business is no longer new. Let's say in Thailand you can safely visit a prison restaurant. It is furnished in the same way as a real prison, occupies more than one floor, and is served by waitresses in sexy costumes of wardens. At the request of the client, one of them can be handcuffed in the prison cell, where lunch is served. They feed, however, not like in a prison, but like in a very good restaurant.

Release of anger


A Chinese establishment in Nanjing is a place where customers can release the anger caused by the stress and challenges of daily life. They are allowed to throw and break dishes, glasses, tables and even beat the waiters.

Body like a table


"Hadaka Sushi" - Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles (USA) introduces the sensual concept "Nyotaimori", which refers to the female body as a food tray. The restaurant has beautiful models who are laid on the table, most of their bodies are covered with banana leaves, on which sushi is placed.

In a London restaurant they feed in the dark

A unique restaurant has opened in London, where visitors are invited to enjoy delicious meals in pitch darkness.
For the first time, an establishment called "Dans Le Noir" ("In the Dark") was opened in Paris and caused a phenomenal stir. The ideology of the institution is simple to the point of paradox. Its owners are sure that all human senses, including taste perception, are greatly exacerbated when he does not see what he is eating.

And here everything is without fools. Restaurant diners really have absolutely no idea what kind of food they are serving. Tables are served by visually impaired or completely blind waiters who serve food and drinks, as well as lead visitors to the table or take them to the toilet. In addition, anything that could disturb the darkness, such as a mobile phone or a burning cigarette, is prohibited in the restaurant.

“This is a real triumph of feelings. Your nose, fingers, ears - it all really makes you taste the food. In addition, you don't see the people you interact with, and this allows you to form an opinion about a person not by appearance, ”says Edouard de Broglie, a 43-year-old French businessman who conceived and implemented the concept of these unique restaurants.

Tree restaurant


















** In the restaurant business, there is practically no such thing as "sick leave". Yes, if the waiter breaks his leg, he will stay at home, but the cook with acute respiratory infections, sore throat or flu will still come to work, because he does not want to lose his "hard-earned" due to illness. And these are the people who serve us.

**. Probably, in films you often saw how waiters or cooks add something indigestible to dishes or even spit on food? So, this is a really common phenomenon, of which you yourself can become a victim if you attack the waiters with or without reason.

** Never say "I am a friend of the owner of this restaurant". When you step into your friend’s restaurant, he automatically turns into the owner of this establishment, who does not want to spend his money feeding friends and acquaintances for free. Actually, even if so, you shouldn't abuse friendship anyway.

** Treat the restaurant or pub service staff in a human way, the way you would like to be treated with you. This is generally accepted advice, and yet people often forget about it.

** Snapping your fingers when calling the waiters is bad form. You should still raise your hand, more or less politely beckoning the waiter. Otherwise, you can pay - read point # 3.

** It is advisable not to order something that is not on the menu. If, nevertheless, you force the chef to cook it, you can end up with an indigestible dish - after all, the menu, first of all, shows what the chef can do best.

** If you need lemonade, order it - no need to force the waiter to bring water, sugar and lemon separately. This delays the waiters and makes the visitor look bad.

** If you like the way a particular waiter serves you, always ask to be seated in the section he / she serves. Also, recommend this waiter to your friends. As a result, that person will receive more money, receive gratitude from the owner, and serve you even better.

** If you feel sorry for the tip - then it is better not to dine in a restaurant. By the way, the waiter usually gives 20 to 40% of the tip to other people who are part of the service team.

**. Always check your receipt. This is especially true for those who come "for a walk" in a large company. Sometimes the waiter can simply make a mistake, but more often these are deliberate "mistakes" that help the service staff get even more money from inattentive visitors.

** If there are no seats in the restaurant, try offering more tips to the waiter. Maybe there is still a place.

**. Don't show up at a restaurant 15 minutes before it closes. The cooks are already tired, the waiters can hardly walk. In general, no one will be happy with you, and the attitude will be appropriate.

Interesting facts about restaurants A restaurant today is not a luxury at all, but rather an integral part of the life of a modern person.

But restaurants are not just gourmet cuisine, they are also a storehouse of interesting facts, here are not all ... Interesting facts about restaurants For example, Paris remains the leader in the number of restaurants on its territory, and these very restaurants are popular not only in the capital of France, but also far beyond. And in expensive restaurants, traditions are still honored. For example, a sommelier must, before bringing you the ordered wine, bring the cork, and you must examine and smell it. This long tradition has come to us since the days when wines were not labeled and you could find out what kind of wine you would drink now only by the markings on the cork. In Spain, there is the oldest operating restaurant - Casa Botin, opened back in 1725. There are also quite unusual restaurants, as they say in taste and color. So in Chicago and Rome there are restaurants where it is considered the norm to insult and humiliate customers in every possible way. The service staff specifically speaks with visitors and among themselves very rudely, insults, bullying, vulgar rude jokes are considered "healthy tone" here. Visitors who are not aware of such a tradition even write complaints to the relevant authorities, complaining of a violation of public ethics. There are restaurants where visitors can vent their anger by breaking the dishes, there are restaurants where you can personally catch your lunch, and there are all kinds, just at a time and not list. Restaurants have become a field of discovery for many of our favorite foods. Let's say it was in the restaurant that the chips were invented. In 1853, in one of the American restaurants where George Crum worked, the signature recipe was fries. One fine day, a visitor returned this most signature dish, complaining about its excessive thickness. Krum decided to play a joke on the latter by slicing potatoes as thick as a paper sheet and frying them in oil. This is how the chips appeared, which later became the most popular dish in the restaurant. Interesting facts about restaurants And there are restaurants for extreme lovers. So on the Spanish island of Lanzarote, which is part of the group of the Canary Islands, there is a restaurant El Diablo (which literally means "devil" in Spanish). Food is prepared here right above the mouth of an active volcano, whose temperature reaches over 400 ° C.

We have collected 10 unusual restaurants in the world where you can experience unforgettable emotions: from nerve-tickling fear to infectious laughter, from surprise to admiration. A visit to any of them can be a great gastronomic adventure.

Dick's Last Resort (USA)

A chain of quirky American restaurants with charmingly boorish staff, and the atmosphere reigning within is inventive banter without the boundaries of morality and decency.

Everything in the restaurant is done deliberately carelessly: cheap wooden benches, tables without tablecloths, a menu that is clumsily handwritten - and even the waiters call names, take spoons, sprinkle sugar on you and throw pieces of paper. In addition, each guest is put on a playful white cap with some funny obscenity written on it. In short, the local environment becomes a real test of the sense of humor.

The cuisine in the restaurants of the chain is American: sandwiches, fried potatoes, steaks, salads, pork ribs, grilled fish and seafood. Average check - $ 17- $ 30.
