masa NYC $500
aragawa TYO $375
joel robuchon LAS $350

are there any others > $300 ?

hmm, how to word this. minimum per person is not exactly right. masa is cheaper for lunch, but im not positive you cant order the cheaper one at dinner. and joel robuchon has a cheaper menu.

i guess i am looking for most expensive tasting menus, that are right there on the menu, whether they are the most expensive at that restaurant or not.

i have not heard of any standard tasting menus, other than those 3, that are over $300 without alcohol. am i missing something?

(by standard i mean no temporary menus where they offer heaps of caviar and/or truffles, or some other expensive product to one or all of the dishes. if the product is ALWAYS optional and is written into the menu, then i guess i would be interested in hearing about that.)

(and of course aragawa wouldnt be a tasting menu, but hopefully you get my point)

obviously you can buy a $1M bottle of champagne in a restaurant. thats not my question.
