Despite the cost-of-living crisis hanging over Australia, top chef Gordon brings his three-Michelin-starred restaurant Down Under for nearly $800 per person.
Tickets for the once-in-a-lifetime experience cost $495 per person, which includes a seven-course meal, with a premium wine pairing option for $295, bringing the total to $790 per person.
An Aria spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that the staggering price has been set because this is the first time the high-end restaurant has ventured internationally and the menu has been personally curated by Ramsay and Moran.
