Known for $20 cocktails and some of the highest prices of any other city in the US, New York is no stranger to the expensive dinner. In fact, it’s almost the standard in Manhattan. These are some of the most expensive restaurants you can dine at in New York, that is, if you can get a reservation.
Per Se
Located at the Time Warner Center, Per Se is the crème de la crème of expensive New York restaurants. The epitome of French cuisine, Per Se is not just a restaurant and culinary experience, but a New York City landmark. Dinner here is anything but ordinary.
Jean-Georges

Le Bernardin
This Manhattan staple is a classic among seafood lovers. The very epitome of fine dining, Le Bernardin’s 4-course prix fixe dinner starts at $150 per person. Their Golden Imperial Caviar will cost you about $155 Supplement per ounce, but it’s worth it.
