Forget your standard breakfast fare. The Savoy Hotel's legendary Grill has shattered all expectations by launching what is arguably the most opulent—and certainly the most expensive—slice of French toast on the planet, with a price tag of £1,990.
This isn't a dish for the faint of heart or light of wallet. Dubbed an unparalleled 'luxury experience,' the creation transforms the humble breakfast staple into a masterpiece of gourmet extravagance.
So, What Makes It Cost Two Grand?
The ingredients list reads like a luxury grocery list for the 1%. The base is crafted from a rich brioche, but the toppings are where the magic—and the cost—truly lie:
- Edible gold leaf that shimmers on the plate.
- A lavish topping of exclusive Beluga caviar.
- A generous drizzle of vintage Dom Pérignon champagne.
- A dollop of the world's most expensive white truffle butter.
- A side of artisanal vanilla bean ice cream.
Each element is meticulously sourced to create a symphony of decadent flavours that is as much a status symbol as it is a meal.
More Than a Meal, It's an Event
The Savoy isn't just selling French toast; they are selling a moment. The dish is designed to be a show-stopping centrepiece for a celebration or an ultimate indulgence for the culinary connoisseur looking to splash out.
This creation taps into the growing trend of 'experience dining,' where the story, presentation, and exclusivity of a dish are just as important as its taste. It’s a bold statement in the world of gourmet food, proving that even the most classic dishes can be reinvented for the ultra-luxury market.
While it may be far beyond the reach of most, The Savoy's £1,990 French toast has successfully captured the world's attention, securing its place as one of London's most talked-about and extravagant culinary offerings.
