There are restaurants where people are ready to wait for weeks for a reservation and travel hundreds of miles to get there. And when a dish looks attractive, clients get double the pleasure from their food and are ready to pay even more.

Based on the opinion of restaurant critics and our own experience, Bright Side would like to introduce you to the most sought-after dishes from legendary restaurants. As a bonus, we will show you a place in Saint-Petersburg, Russia where you can feast on culinary masterpieces.

A mushroom from the Japanese restaurant “Inua”

The Japanese restaurant Inua brews the Maitake mushroom for 5 days, then they smoke it on cherry kindling-wood, stew it in Miso, and serve it with Sakura petals canned in salt. The restaurant got 2 Michelin stars 2 years after its opening, thanks to their German-born chef Thomas Frebel.

Kombucha from the Spanish restaurant “Mugaritz”

A kombucha with flowers is one of the dishes that Spanish restaurant Mugaritz, which took the 7th place among the best restaurants in the world, surprises its visitors with. The dessert is offered as part of the menu that stirs up curiosity: in addition to kombucha, you can find a black banana with shrimp and oyster ice cream.

A taco from the Mexican restaurant “Frida”

The most expensive taco in the world consists of langoustine, Kobe beef, albino huso caviar, and Brie cheese with black truffles. This dish is offered by “Frida,” a restaurant located in the Mexican resort Grand Velas Los Cabos.

Chicken in soy sauce from Singapore

The cheapest restaurant with a Michelin star is called “Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle.” It became famous for its signature chicken in soy sauce served with rice, which costs only $2.20. After getting the Michelin award, big lines, where one might spend over 2 hours waiting, appeared at the restaurant. But Chan, the owner, is not planning on increasing the prices on his dishes, saying “it’s not fair to raise them just because I won an award.”

A 72 oz steak from a restaurant in Texas

A Texas restaurant offers its signature dish, a 72 oz steak, for free to those who can manage to eat the entire portion within one hour. The winner won’t have to pay the cost of the steak, which is $72.

Giant overshakes are the business card of this restaurant, where it’s hard to find a free table at any time of the day.
