Taste, the last frontier. If you were to think and say that Ultraviolet boldly takes you where nobody has before, it would be hard to argue.
Ultraviolet offers one of the world’s most unique and immersive dining experiences. It is also one of the most expensive, and Ultraviolet has been defined as either the world’s most expensive restaurant or, at no worse, in the top three (think like, roughly, 1000 euros or 1200 dollars a person). But it is also one that is truly unlike any other you might have experienced before. As good a The Ledbury, Arpège, Dal Pescatore or The French Laundry might be, nothing out there even remotely comes close to what Ultraviolet offers, and is about. For at Ultraviolet places diners into a new restaurant universe, one where they travel through a multi-sensory experience where each dish is part of a dining journey. Each night, only ten diners sit at a long communal table, plunged into a stimulation of all the senses, with a dazzling combination of colours, aromas, flavours, sounds and textures at once innovative and unique.
