Forbes' Most Expensive Restaurants 2006
Using data compiled by the Zagat survey, Forbes has produced two lists naming the year's most expensive restaurants. One list deals with only US restaurants, while the other compares the prices (in US dollars) of places all over the world. For the global list, the final cost was considered to be the price of one main course, one (alcoholic) beverage and tip, while the US list was not limited to a single main course and included options such as prix fixe tasting menus. Both only priced dinner for one person, but due to the difference in standards, there are many prix-fixe only restaurants that didn't make the global list but might be a good deal more expensive, but here are the top three from each list as they stand:
- Global
- Aragawa (Tokyo): $368
- Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée (Paris): $231
- Gordon Ramsay (London): $183
- US
- Masa (New York City): $446
- The French Laundry (Yountville, CA): $254
- Alinea (Chicago): $168

I could bet that the most expensive retsturants are in Bahrain. But I never thought at Tokyo.
