These are Brooklyn’s Most Expensive Restaurants in 2025
Brooklyn is home to some of New York City’s finest restaurants—including multiple Michelin-starred establishments—proving yet again that world-class dining isn’t just confined to Manhattan. With a blend of high-end omakase counters, elegant steakhouses, and contemporary fine dining spots, Brooklyn has solidified itself as a culinary powerhouse. And like everything else in New York, luxury dining comes at a price.
At Chef’s Pencil, we analyzed Michelin restaurant prices worldwide, ranking the most expensive dining destinations across the globe. No surprise—New York made the list, with two restaurants in the top 10 (both in Manhattan). The city also ranked as the 6th most expensive in the world for Michelin dining, with an average price of $258 per person (excluding drinks, service charges, and gratuity), placing it behind Dubai, Hong Kong, and Copenhagen.
While Manhattan is home to the city’s most expensive Michelin restaurants, Brooklyn has its fair share of pricey dining spots as well. In our ranking, we looked beyond just Michelin-starred restaurants, considering a variety of high-end establishments across the borough. So, which Brooklyn restaurants top the list for the priciest dining experiences, and how do they compare to the rest of NYC? Let’s find out.
