With Valentine’s Day coming up, there is no doubt that there are some expensive meals on the menu. If your appetite is enormous and you have a bank account to match, then maybe this 10-course gourmet meal served on February 10, 2007 is for you.
The Dome Restaurant in Bankok, Thailand served up what was billed as the most expensive meal ever sold this past weekend. The six chefs who prepared this expensive meal were flown in from France, Germany and Italy. Similarly, the ingredients they used were also flown in from all over the world. As for the guest-list, it was made up of 15 people, mostly real estate and gaming moguls from Across Asia and the United States. The cost of the most expensive meal was about $30,000, not including tax and tip.
The expensive meal’s wine list certainly fit the bill. It was estimated that the wine list totaled around $200,000 and included a rare Rothschild estate wine. Fine champagne was also available. When guest Sophiane Foster was asked how she was enjoying the meal she was quoted during her eighth course, saying: “I can’t finish it. Your senses can only take so much.”

This is definitely expensive but I could have sworn I saw something recently about a Indonesian or Arab royalty that had a $130k fish served for dinner.
in china i heard i man bought a 112k mushroom but also the meal costed 1 million dollars
total price including tax is $395000. so it is the most expensive meal in the world.
And Jesus fed the multitude with a boy’s big lunch of three fish and 5 loaves of bread? So for that much no doubt you could divide it by 5,000 a couple of times or maybe more, and still get a decent lunch.
Well, I know someone whoed buy that right off the bat!
i rather eat money than that overpriced crap
What a waste of money
maybe if I am a multi-millionaire i would try to taste them. hehehe but I would do charity first.
Pigeon? that disease infested flying rodent was part of the meal. whats next, sewer rat with meal worm puree. im sure these people are so full of them selves that they were stuffed before the chefs cleaned the pigeon crap of the frying pan.
most expensive zade balls in the world contains 23k elephant gold balls.
Pigeons are considered a delicacy in France.
Expensive things including foods are good if one can afford the bills.The food prepared in Thailand by cheffs from 3 Different countries must be appetising and worth testing.
my house meal is more expensive……..
the world largest res in the world is damascus gate and it is expensive too
It was the most expensive, not best tasting.
These people probably would have eaten cheeze whiz and not known the difference as long as they paid enoug hfor it.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
I have eaten at this restaurant. I’m not rich at all. It was just a once in a blue moon thing. It really is a beautiful place to be. It is located on the 64th floor of Bangkok’s State Tower. This restaurant is called ‘Dome’ because the top of this building is capped by a large gold dome. The views of the Chao Praya River and downtown Bangkok at sunset are stunning. The ‘Distil’ bar just below the mezzanine floor where ‘Dome’ is situated makes delicious cocktails with all fresh herbs and top shelf spirits, Liqueur etc. I’d never spend that much money on a meal even if I had the funds to do it but I do enjoy going up to the top of State Tower every so often for a drink and the best view of Bangkok there is.
