European Resturant Food prices (was Sicily travelogue)
In article , tim..... says...
I didn't notice those restaurant food prices as out of line with other Western European locations from my recent trips. We have done a number of European trips (Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria, Czechia, Poland, Greece) and were able to find affordable food in all these countries. For those that haven't looks at Alfred's report his sample prices a Pasta Starter: 7-10 Euro Main Course: meat 10-20 plus vegetable at 3 E per portion plus coperto at 2 E plus unspecified amounts for salads and deserts making a total of 25E pp 100 E per family, twice! a day. Well firstly, after you have had breakfast in the hotel (which the report says that he did) does anybody really have a three course meal for both lunch and dinner. I certainly don't. Lunch will just be the pasta (or a sandwich). Well, wife and kids cannot survive on just a breakfast and a dinner over a whole day. There must also be a lunch. And are those prices really higher than elsewhere in W Europe for full meals? On my most recent trip to France/Spain I was presented with menus in France at: Starter 10-15 E Main Course 15-25E (vegetables included!) Dessert 8-12E. In all other European countries visited it was possible to eat for less. But the really weird thing is that meat dishes in Sicily were so expensive. Why does a meat dish without rice or potatoes have to cost between 10 and 20 Euro? Meat doesn't cost that much. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
