Dinner to die for
While you’re in the mood for exclusive travel experiences, ensure you dine at one or more of the following restaurants around the world. There are few things in the world more worth spending money on than fine dining. Some fantastic examples from around the world are:
1. Masa, New York City: Guests are expected to dress casually and prepare for a 3-hour, calming dining extravaganza of fresh dishes straight from the kitchen. The menu? What menu?
2. Gordon Ramsay, London: Restaurant Gordon Ramsay has been the recipient of 3 Michelin stars since 2001. No mean feat. If you’re feeling particularly lavish, there is an £11,000 bottle of 1900 Chateau Margaux 1er cru classé on offer.
3. Sublimotion, Ibizia: This is the world’s most expensive restaurant and is described by head chef Paco Rancero as “radically different”. With 20 courses on the menu, virtual reality headsets as part of the experience, and projections are layered on all surfaces. The food is delicious, too. Watch this video to learn more.
