Dubai is no stranger to extravagance, from “seven-star” hotels, designer boutiques, and luxury mega-yachts, to the tallest building in the world grazing its impressive skyline. And it’s no different when it comes to food and drink. Here are seven of the most crazy-expensive dishes and cocktails to come out of the city.
Kobe tenderloin, Dh985
Seafire Steakhouse & Bar at Atlantis The Palm serves 350g of Kobe tenderloin for $270 (£217). This rare beef comes from the Tajima-gyu breed of cattle found in Japan’s Hyōgo Prefecture in Kobe, and is considered to be the most succulent wagyu in the world. Perhaps this is because the animals are said to be raised listening to classical music, drinking beer, and receiving daily massages with rice wine.

Black diamond ice cream, Dh2,999
Cafe, Dessert
The Golden Phoenix cupcake, Dh3,700
27.321 cocktail, Dh27,321
The Skyview Bar earned a Guinness World Record in 2009 for the world’s most expensive cocktail when it created the 27.321 cocktail; named after both its price and location – the 27th floor of the 321-meter high Burj Al Arab. With only 10 to be made, this limited-edition tipple costs a mind-blowing $7,439 (£5,963). It’s made from a 55-year-old Macallan single malt Scotch whisky, stirred with one of their exclusive ‘dried fruit bitters’ and poured over ice made from water used at the distillery, sweetened with passionfruit-scented sugar. The beverage is served in an 18ct-gold glass, which the buyer can keep, along with a leather case and certificate.

Imperial caviar, Dh29,070
AmStur is known for making exquisite caviars sourced from the West Coast of North America, the most expensive of which is the Imperial. Made of a white Sturgeon roe harvested at peak maturity, this smooth and creamy delicacy is so rare that less than 50kg is produced each year. And how much will this exclusive treat set you back? Approximately $7,915 (£6.341) for a 1kg tin, which can be delivered anywhere in the UAE by chauffeur.
