The world will be astonished at this [Valentine's Day dinner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-dining-research) worth almost $100,000. Chef Adam Simmonds created this luxurious and elaborate dinner for two. If you are looking to really impress your valentine, this is the way to go. You may just need to invest in a high limit credit card to do so. The dinner will cost you exactly $99,594.70.

Adam's extravagant menu includes aphrodisiac-infused ingredients like [alums white caviar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-caviar-collections) which cost almost $5,000, [gold leaf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serendipity3-diamond-frrrozen-hot-chocolate) costing more than $3,000 and native South Sea oyster pearls that will costs almost $10,000. The exclusivity does not end there; pacific blue fin tuna also makes it onto the menu, which is a species many wildlife activists say is practically extinct. While you indulge in these decadent foods you will be sipping on a $27,755.90 bottle of 1990 La Romanee-Conti, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.

I think this is the epitome of "fine dining." I cannot even imagine what kind of a tip you would have to leave for a meal this expensive.
