This is why fine dining food is so expensive
The world of fine dining restaurants is often associated with luxury and high prices, but is it really only the privilege of the wealthy, or is it more than that? Many people are looking for high-quality gastronomic experiences, while others find the prices of such restaurants expensive. But how should we approach this special form of eating and what do we get for our money?
The prices of fine dining restaurants may seem exorbitant at first glance, especially if we consider that they can charge tens of thousands of forints for each course. For example, the menus of Michelin-starred restaurants in Hungary range from HUF 50,000 to HUF 120,000, while abroad, for example in Vienna, these prices can be HUF 25,000 to HUF 30,000 higher. This is a significant amount, especially if you consider that a simple beef stew with red wine can be bought for HUF 8,500 at a festival.
However, the price does not only include the costs of preparing the food. Running a fine dining restaurant is extremely expensive, since not only do they use the best quality ingredients, but they also work with significant material waste to serve only the tastiest portions. Live labor, energy costs, kitchen equipment and the design of the milieu all contribute to the prices.
Fine dining is not just a meal, but an entire program that defines the evening. The menus are created by experts who use special ingredients and techniques to create the dishes. This is part of the restaurant experience, where the dishes are put together on an artistic level so that each course matches each other and gives the guest a complete experience.
