Sublimotion
Sublimotion is a restaurant located in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Ibiza, Spain run by Michelin 2-star chef Paco Roncero who utilizes molecular gastronomy in cooking. The concept, which aims to provide an immersive experience through the use of projected video, sound, and performance by the waiting staff, was originally developed by Michelin 3-star chef Paul Pairet for his restaurant Ultraviolet before being plagiarized by the creators of Sublimotion. In 2014, Sublimotion was awarded the prize Best Innovation Food & Beverage.[1] As of 2015, the restaurant is considered the most expensive in the world with an average price of slightly over €1900 (USD$2,000) per person[2][3] overtaking Urasawa and Per Se.[4]
