If you’re looking for an eating-out experience to step it up from the toasted cheeses and take-away burgers that currently make up your staple-diet, then Sublimotion may be a decent option.
Touted as the “world’s most expensive restaurant”, this Ibiza establishment puts the price-per-head at €1,500 (around R21,900). Let that sink in.
While the cost of dining at Sublimotion may be in line with that new top-range TV you wanted, the owner and double Michelin-starred chef, Paco Roncero, claims it to be “cheapest life-changing experience anyone can have.” Easy for you to say, Paco.
So what do you get for your hard-earned moolah? Self-mixing cocktails, vivid 360-degree projections, and a pillow of nitrogenised olive oil, and the Telegraph’s Theresa Machan experienced this:
If nothing else Sublimotion is a marriage of food and technology – temperature, scents, projections and ultimately, trickery of the mind and palate. Every surface, from the walls to the table, can be projected on to, and waiting staff are technicians, musicians and illusionists.
And what about the food?! It is deconstructed within an inch of its life, molecularised, morphed by spherification and – of course – blasted by liquid hydrogen. We taste a pillow of nitrogenised (at -196 degrees C) olive oil, pegged to a miniature washing line and a liquid cheese so rich that, naturally, only a glass of Laurent Perrier can cut through. The white-chocolate foie gras doughnut is surprisngly moreish.
