Which Is The Most Expensive Restaurant In The World?

           This is the type of thing that Forbes compiles lists of.   Keep in mind restaurants make their wild profits on alcohol, not on food.  This list only details expensive food.  As for expensive booze, the sky is the limit.

           For wildly extravagant dining experiences, head for

           Tokyo: The Aragawa will set you back US $277 per head for a basic beef-based meal (but said to be some of the finest beef in the world).  Drinks may not be included.
           
           Toronto: Well, 2 hours north driving, actually. $213 per head, for farm-grown produce on Eigensinn Farm.

           Paris: Arpege, meals heavy on veg but still cost a fortune: plan on $211 per person.

           London: Sketch, $176 per person, features New French cuisine (don't ask me how that differs from Nouveau cuisine).

           Zurich: Petermann's Kunststuben, $151 per head for a 6 course meal (wine is extra, though).

           Sydney: Tetsuya's Restaurant, $135.  Classic basics.

           Berlin: Vitrum, $118 per head.  Classic German cuisine under chandeliers.

           Vienna: Steirereck, $114 buys you a 6 course meal for one.  Wine still extra, of course.

           Madrid: Zalacain: 3 courses for $108, Classic Spanish cuisine and modern fare.

Amsterdam: Yamazato, Japanese theme, $108 gets you 7 courses.
