Have you ever pondered how much a meal of a particular delicacy may run you? There are some foods, though, that would be too expensive and were only intended for wealthy people. Let’s take a quick look at a few of them.
1. Grand Velas Tacos $25,000
This taco, which is the most expensive food in the world, is made with Kobe beef, Almas Beluga Caviar, and Black Truffle Brie Cheese and is served on a corn tortilla that has been impregnated with gold flakes. Additionally, a unique salsa made with dried Morita chili peppers, Ley.925 ultra-premium aejo tequila, and garnished with civet coffee beans is offered with the taco. The dish, which costs a staggering US$ 25,000, is offered in Mexico at the Frida restaurant at the brand-new Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort.
2. Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence $14,500
The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence, served at the Fortress Resort and Spa in Galle, Sri Lanka, is notorious for being the most costly dessert in the entire world. It can cost as much as US$14,500 and is only prepared upon special order. The chocolate fisherman on stilts is part of the dessert. Its basis is an Italian cassata that has Baileys Irish Cream flavoring. It is exquisitely presented with a Champagne sabayon sauce, a mango and pomegranate compote, and gold leaf. The dish has an 80-carat aquamarine stone that rests on the fisherman’s chocolate stilt, giving it a genuinely one-of-a-kind appearance. Cutlery crafted just for the Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence is served in studio-flared glass.
3. Louis Xiii Pizza $12,000
Renato Viola is credited with creating Louis XIII, the most costly pizza in the world. The pizza’s original size, which was for two people, was 20 cm. It required a lot of time to rest before cooking because the dough needed to rise for up to 72 hours. It contains ingredients like three varieties of caviar: Kaspia Oscietra Royal Classic from the Iranian coast, Oscietra Royal Prestige, and Kaspia Beluga. Along with the caviar, the pizza also boasts a pricey lobster that was brought in from Norway and seven different kinds of cheese. The Louis XIII pizza, which may cost up to $12,000 USD, is available in Salerno, Italy.
4. Beluga’s Almas Caviar $9884
A serving of 250 grams of Almas caviar from Beluga, the only caviar-specific restaurant in Dubai, costs US$ 9884. Almas is the most costly and rarest caviar in the world, earning it the nickname “King of Kings” in the caviar community. The Almas Caviar is presented with a 24-karat Golden Cigar that costs $422.
5. Fleurburger 5000 $5000
The FleurBurger 5000, which costs US$ 5,000 and is offered by Hubert Keller in Fleur in Las Vegas, is the most expensive burger available anywhere in the world.

The price of a 6.5 gallon tin of Berco’s popcorn can reach US$ 2,500. Each popcorn is dusted with caramel and flakes of 23-karat gold. They are seasoned with difficult to get Laeso salt.
