On your birthday, going out for a slightly pricier meal with your friends can be easily justified. If you’re feeling guilty about an $80 bill after splashing out on a three-course meal and some champagne, just take a look at these Michelin Star restaurants and the hefty price tags that come with them.

$2173: SubliMotion, Spain

Located in Ibiza, SubliMotion is inside the Hard Rock Hotel and offers a unique dining experience. Diners receive hi-tech headsets and are immersed in music and art. The food itself is incredible and you can expect 15-20 courses.

As poucas referências que tinha de Sublimotion, o restaurante multi-sensorial de @PacoRoncero, em Ibiza, envolvia uma série de epítetos excessivos (vindos, por vezes, de pessoas que nunca lá tinham ido): “que era o restaurante mais caro do mundo”, que aquilo “não interessava nada porque era pirotecnia e não comida”, etc. A semana passada recebi um simpático convite do chefe espanhol (que é mais conhecido como chefe do @laterrazacasino, ** Michelin, em Madrid) para vir ver o show pelos meus próprios olhos, numa ilha hiperactiva que não é propriamente a minha praia. E a melhor descrição que posso fazer é esta (a reportagem sairá daqui a umas semanas da @fugaspublico): pensem no melhor show 3D que já viram no Universal Studios ou na Disney, tirem o Pato Donald & friends, e imaginem um espectáculo multi-sensorial centrado na comida ou no acto de comer como fonte de prazer e de convivio. Agora continuem a imaginar que tudo isto está bem pensado e coreografado ao detalhe, que é surpreendente mesmo para os mais cépticos e que é divertido. Ah, last but not the least, e que a comida é boa. #Sublimotion #SublimotionIbiza #PacoRoncero

$600: Masa, New York City

Masa is a Japanese sushi restaurant owned by Masa Takayama. You can expect to pay $240 for some maki roles. Yes, the food is good but in reality, people go there for the status. It’s a place for the elite and only the rich and famous go on a regular basis.

$442: Maison Pic, France

Maison Pic is a three-star Michelin restaurant and the food is notoriously incredible. It’s expensive but it will likely be the best dining experience of your entire life. Truly, the food there is stunning. If you’re lucky enough to go there one day, please tell us if the chocolate desert really is as heavenly as everyone says it is.
