FX.co ★ World’s 5 most expensive dishes

1st rank - Stilt Fisherman Indulgence

The most expensive dish in the world today is the Stilt Fisherman dessert, which is cooked only on the island of Sri Lanka. You can try this gourmet treat worth $ 14,000 at The Fortress Spa Hotel's restaurant, making an order about a day in advance. The recipe includes a handmade chocolate figurine of a fisherman and an inventive Sicilian cassata cake soaked with Irish cream liqueur and Dom Perignon French champagne. Confectioners use exotic fruits and edible gold as decor for the pastry.

2nd rank - Louis XIII Pizza

Pizza is known as one of the most popular dishes that anyone can afford. However, if it is cooked by the world's best pizzaiolo, you are sure to see a humongous price tag. Italian chef Renato Viola has no competitors. No doubt, his brainchild called Louis XIII is so expensive. The recipe includes elite cheeses, 3 types of caviar, shrimp, lobster, and lobster meat. If you are interested, you will have to pay more than $9,000! Moreover, to try this gourmet dish, you will need to buy a ticket to Salerno, where the legendary pizzaiolo lives.

3d rank – Golden Boy Burger

Another fast food dish that should be affordable by conventional standards is a burger. However, when renowned chef Robert Jan de Veen gets down to business, even the price of a sandwich skyrockets. A few years ago, the creative Dutchman invented the Golden Boy burger which included very expensive ingredients: Japanese wagyu marbled beef, Iberico jamon, beluga caviar, king crab, white truffle, and elite cheddar cheese. Of course, this made an impact on the price tag which is more than $5,000.

4th rank - Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata

It is hard to imagine that a plain dish like an egg omelette, which a lot of people prefer cooking for breakfast, could also be on the list of the most expensive dishes in the world. Remarkably, New York restaurant Norma's now serves a $1,000 frittata. Of course, this scrambled egg differs substantially from a regular omelette. Its most expensive ingredients are lobster meat and stellate sturgeon caviar.

5th rank - Golden Opulence Sundae

In New York, you can try the most expensive ice cream in the world. It is served in the elite restaurant Serendipity III which is famous for its extraordinary cuisine and very creative chefs. A few years ago, they introduced an ice cream called Golden Opulence to the menu. Amazingly, despite its high price, it immediately became a hit. The dessert is vanilla ice cream, which is decorated with edible gold, chocolate truffles, sugar flowers, exotic fruits, and even caviar. Such an unusual treat costs about $1,000.
