It\u2019s a famous fact of life that are the most expensive restaurants in the world the portion sizes range from fairly small to microscopic. We’ll show you a few reasons which to explain this phenomenon.\n This is probably the most common reason mentioned and it is based on truth but not that much truth. While it is true that high-quality ingredients cost more, they don\u2019t cost that much more. Sure, caviar and truffles are extremely hard to get and therefore expensive; but we don\u2019t eat a rack of truffles or a filet of caviar.\n The extremely expensive ingredients are used as a seasoning and are not included in all entrees. So the cost of ingredients explains why the portions are not huge or big, but it is a mediocre explanation of their actual tininess.\n Most people don\u2019t go to these high-end places very often. They are mainly reserved for celebrating special occasions, business meetings, and romantic dinners.\n Elegant restaurants eliminate many of the possible downsides of eating large portions. No pigging out and stuffing your face, no \u201care you gonna finish that?\u201d and no profuse sweating and dashes to the toilets are expected.\n Add the fancy settings and corresponding clothing and we can forget for a while that we are ravenous apelike creatures, which is pretty much the definition of elegance.\n While most restaurants offer 3 or 4-course meals, fancy restaurants start at 3 and take it up to double figures. A great deal of care is invested in how the food looks when it arrives at the table. Some dishes are referred to as \u201ccreations\u201d and \u201cworks of art\u201d.\n Decorative leaves and drops of sauce are placed just so in order to create a visually appealing plate. Preparing and serving a small portion of risotto or pasta takes just about the same amount of time and care as a larger portion does.\n1. The Pricey Cost Of Ingredients\n
