I adore tasting menus, or degustation menus, as French chefs call them.
From the amuses-bouche to the petits fours, there’s nothing that comes close to sitting back and letting chefs send out whatever they please. Some of my fondest culinary memories revolve around tasting menus: Thomas Keller’s at The French Laundry, Charlie Trotter’s at his namesake Chicago townhouse, and long, long ago Andre Soltner’s at Letuce. We’re talking food so divine it makes me moan with delight.
So when Forbes published their World’s Most Expensive Tasting Menus recently I was all ears. Here’s who made the A-list. Prices per person.
L’Arpege, Paris ($466) Chef Alain Passard – number of courses varies
Alain Ducasse, Plaza Athenee, Paris ($437) – five courses
Guy Savoy, Paris ($402) – nine courses
Masa, NYC ($400) – 25-course Omakase menu
Pierre Gagnaire, Paris ($373) – nine courses
Joel Robuchon At The Mansion, MGM Grand, Las Vegas ($360) – 16 courses
Louis XV, Alain Ducasse, Monaco ($307) – six courses
La Pergola, Rome ($267) Chef Heinz Beck – nine courses
Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, Rangali Island ($250) – 23 courses
Eigensinn Farm, Singhampton, Canada ($250) Chef Michael Stadtlander – eight courses
Per Se, NYC ($250) Chef Thomas Keller – nine courses
