Most Expensive Dinner

What is your most expensive dinner? Mine would be $250 at Esca in NY.

950 at "t'Deurtje just outside Amsterdam. I won a battle of Doom 3D at my office and oddly enough I was the one that ended up taking a collegue out to dinner.

I don't believe I know any Dutch specialities, ScottC. Can you give a few examples?

I spent almost, well my dad, $800 for dinner for us in Las Vegas, at the Caesar's Palace.

Which, by the way, thread should go in to DiningBuzz!

Let's follow it there.

I think about $350US for a Charlie Trotter's New Year's Eve dinner.

Almost every dish had tons of truffles which I found out that evening that I really did not appreciate in that quanity.

My husband and I had lunch at Pierre Gagnaire and I think it was about $550 or $600. L'Oustau de Bauminere was $550ish for three.

We've had lots of meals in the $300-to-$400-for-two range. When traveling to a good restaurant area, we often book a few of these for the same week. I save the menus and have many framed and hanging in the eating area of the kitchen.

At Caviar Kaspia in Paris, I believe we paid around $300 for a lunch which consisted only of Ossetra Caviar, blinis and vodka. Sure was decadent, if not exactly filling

Charlie Trotter's for me, too - between the three of us, though, it was just about $500 (incl. tax & tip), but this was probably 8 years ago.

2 lunches right after each other... for shame.

$550- Le Grand Vefour, Paris- as if that wasn't enough we bought some custom hats in the Palais Royal boutiques!

$490- Taillevent, Paris- complete palate paradise
