Personally I found it very overpriced and this was one of my big problems with Velaa. I do understand that The Maldives is expensive but here are a few meals that stood out to me.
And ordinary lunch of pizza, pasta, ice cream, one glass of wine and a coke came in at $300
A tasting menu at the Japanese restaurant about $800 and similar in their fine dining restaurant. This is more than we've paid for a multi-course menu at three Michelin starred restaurants in London / Paris / New York.
Yes, it was good quality but not on a par with a two or three Michelin starred restaurant.
