1. The World's Most Expensive 'Surf & Turf' Pie
Surf 'n' turf is the term used to describe a main course combining seafood and red meat. Groupon Australia partnered with Sydney's Lord Dudley Hotel to create the Surf and Turf Posh Pie, just to celebrate the two millionth food and drink voucher being sold.
This pie holds a record when talking about the world’s most expensive pies. The total price of a mere $12,500.
It took Paul Medcalf, executive chef at The Lord Dudley Hotel, three weeks to develop the recipe. Its ingredients are lobster, truffles, organic vegetables, puff pastry, and Japanese Wagyu Beef. All of that is topped off with gold leaf.
2. Louis XIII Pizza
This pizza for two costs an unbelievable 12,000 dollars! It is created using organic Arabic flour and pink Murray River salt. Three extremely rare varieties of caviar and seven different kinds of cheese are among the opulent toppings. Additionally, pizza is made and served at your house. The price also includes all the china and cutlery from a special limited edition. We just wonder if the flavor is as rich as the price tag!
3. Fleur Burger 5000
If you're tired of regular Subway burgers, you can spice things up with this $5,000 Fleur Burger at Fleur de Lys, a restaurant in Las Vegas. It's the most expensive burger on the planet right now. The burger is made with delicious Kobe beef, black truffles, and foie gras, served with two side dishes: crisps and a bottle of rare 1995 Petrus wine that’s guaranteed to tie all the flavors together in a neat gourmand bow.
4. World's Most Expensive Taco
The world's most expensive taco is sold for 25K USD. This culinary masterpiece includes such premium ingredients as langoustine, Kobe beef, Almas Beluga caviar, and black truffle brie cheese. An exotic salsa that goes with it is comprised of dried Morita chili peppers, and the ultra-premium añejo tequila is served with it. Finally, the taco is served on a gold flake-infused corn tortilla. It probably won’t satiate your hunger, but it will your flavor sensors.
5. Bluefin Tuna
A gigantic bluefin tuna was sold for $275,000 in the ceremonial first auction of the last new year at Tokyo’s Toyosu fish market, and it was a 467-pound bluefin caught in Oma. One restaurant on Fifth Avenue will incorporate the coveted bluefin into the seasonal omakase menu for both lunch and dinner.
The deluxe menu typically consists of bluefin tuna, eight appetizers, nine pieces of nigiri, a homemade tamago (egg omelet), a miso soup, and a dessert, though the numbers may vary slightly depending on the ingredients. Now, this delectable Japanese menu made our mouths water, how about yours?
6. Golden Opulence Sundae
This is the most expensive sundae in the world, costing $1k. It is made using three scoops of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, Madagascar vanilla, and 23k edible gold leaf. The sundae is finally covered with exotic candied fruits, gold-covered almonds, chocolate truffles, and marzipan cherries. Added to the dessert is a tiny glass bowl of exclusive dessert caviar. You even get to keep the baccarat crystal glass it's served in, and the gold-plated spoon it comes with! Now, that is our definition of a golden afternoon - spent eating this fairytale dessert.

8. The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence
This sweet made of sugar looks more like a sculpture than a dessert. It is served in Sri Lanka as a special offer for those who want to keep a memory of the travel experience for a long. Made on special request, the dessert features Italian Cassata with Baileys and is served with a pomegranate and mango compote. The base is a delicious champagne sabayon enlighten, while the crowning glory is the 80-carat aquamarine stone, placed below an exquisitely handcrafted chocolate stilt fisherman. With all that said, we’re still not sure if we’d have the heart to eat it, or if we’d keep it on display.
9. 24 Karat Gold Pizza
A restaurant in NYC is known for its modern American cuisine and offers its $2K pizza. Ingredients include squid ink with gold flakes, Stilton cheese from England, foie gras, and truffles, covered with gold foil, then topped with rare edible rose petals, Ossetra caviar, and more gold flakes.
