There’s fine dining, and then there’s next-level fine dining—the kind of experience that’s so exclusive, that even getting a reservation feels like winning the lottery. These are the restaurants where the elite wine and dine, where chefs push boundaries, and where a single meal can cost more than most people’s monthly rent.
If you’re the kind of man who appreciates the best of the best, whether you’re entertaining a high-profile client, impressing a date, or just treating yourself to a once-in-a-lifetime experience, these restaurants are where you need to be.
From secretive invite-only venues to Michelin-starred legends, here’s where the world’s elite are booking tables (if they’re lucky).
Sublimotion – Ibiza, Spain
Price: Approx. $1,700 per person
Location: Hard Rock Hotel, Ibiza
If you think Ibiza is all about beach clubs and all-night parties, think again. Sublimotion is the ultimate gastronomic spectacle, where food, technology, and theatre collide in one of the most expensive dining experiences on the planet.
Every night, just 12 lucky guests are treated to a 20-course tasting menu that feels like stepping into a sci-fi movie. The room transforms with every dish, using 360-degree projections, scent control, and interactive elements to make each course a fully immersive experience.
“It’s like dining inside a dream,” says Daniel R., a luxury property developer. “One moment you’re in a futuristic lab, the next you’re deep-sea diving, then suddenly you’re sitting under the stars. And the food? Absolute perfection. Worth every penny.”
Ultraviolet – Shanghai, China
Price: $600–$1,000 per person
Location: Secret location, Shanghai
Dining at Ultraviolet is like stepping into a culinary sci-fi thriller. There’s no address, no sign—you’re picked up and driven to a secret location, where you enter a single-table dining room designed to manipulate all five senses.
With 20 courses matched to immersive visuals, scents, and soundscapes, this three-Michelin-starred experience is pure theatre—one minute, you’re in a neon-lit cyberpunk city, the next, you’re sitting in a candlelit Parisian bistro.
We reached out to Top Models Agency and spoke to Irina, one of their high-class London escorts, who’s been to more exclusive restaurants than she can count. This is what she had to say:
“This place is like nothing else, and that’s coming from someone who’s been all over the world! I really loved the way the lights, music, and scents change with every course—I’ve never seen anything like it. I once had a client take me here, and by the end of the night, I was more seduced by the experience than I was by him.”
The Fat Duck – Bray, UK
Price: £395 per person
Location: High Street, Bray, Berkshire
Heston Blumenthal’s three-Michelin-starred playground isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience that messes with your senses in the best way possible. At The Fat Duck, food is transformed into a surreal journey of nostalgia, storytelling, and molecular wizardry.
Here, you’ll be served dishes that look like one thing but taste like another, edible storybooks, and flavours that transport you straight back to childhood. Ever had a dish that brings back a memory you forgot you had? That’s the kind of magic Heston creates.
“I took a date here thinking it’d be a classy dinner, but it turned into the most fun we’ve had in years,” says Richard G., a hedge fund manager. “We were giggling over the ‘Sound of the Sea’ dish, listening to ocean waves while eating seafood. It makes fine dining feel playful instead of stuffy.”
Masa – New York City, USA
Price: $950 per person (before drinks & tips)
Location: 10 Columbus Circle, Manhattan
If you love Japanese precision and craftsmanship, you can’t beat Masa. This is the highest-end sushi experience in the U.S., and Chef Masa Takayama personally prepares every piece of sushi with the kind of detail that borders on obsessive.
The fish is flown in daily from Tokyo, the rice is cooked to absolute perfection, and the meal is a silent, almost spiritual experience. There’s no music, no distractions—just you, the chef, and some of the best sushi in the world.
“If you think you’ve had good sushi before, trust me, you haven’t,” says Thomas L., a private equity investor. “Masa is like watching an artist paint a masterpiece, except you get to eat it. Every bite is perfect.”
Sketch – London, UK
Price: £250–£400 per person
Location: 9 Conduit St, Mayfair, London
For those who want luxury with a touch of eccentricity, Sketch is where you go. This Michelin-starred restaurant is an Instagram dream, famous for its pink, velvet-covered dining room, quirky art displays, and futuristic egg-shaped bathrooms.
The food, created by Chef Pierre Gagnaire, is modern French haute cuisine at its finest. Each dish is a work of art, and the cocktails are just as extravagant as the décor.
“It’s one of those places that makes you feel like a celebrity the moment you walk in,” says Julian H., a CEO and frequent visitor. “The service is flawless, the food is mind-blowing, and if you’re looking to impress someone—this is the place to do it.”
