[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Europe in a fairly expensive and touristy city, and I usually spend an average of $50-60 for dinner in a restaurant (just for myself), which I find pretty expensive, but that does usually include one glass of wine and of course there is no additional tax/tip.  Obviously it's possible to spend less for a quick, casual sandwich-type place, or at the other end, the sky is the limit here.  I was talking with visitors from back home and they said after all the inflation lately, eating at restaurants is now more expensive than it is here.  I was pretty surprised to hear this, as I remember a few years back being able to go out as a family of four for maybe $80-$100 at an average place.  But I guess times have changed.  When we all go out here, it is usually at least $200 (with only two adults drinking).  Is that roughly the same as in DC is now?

Curious what the average cost is for a family of four is at a regular restaurant (not fancy) including drinks, tax, tip?[/quote]

What's the point of being coy about the city you're in?  It would be much more helpful if you just say I currently live in Berlin, Stockholm, Milan, whatever.  it's not like we're going to suddenly say "OH! you must be susan smith.  Gotcha"[/quote]

Does it matter for the purpose of the question? [/quote]

NP- YES.
We recently ate in NYC ("near" times square but not super touristy-- mostly touristy). Prix fixe menu for $35. It was un-freaking believable. Soup or salad, choice of three entrees and choice of 5 desserts. I almost passed out. Our bagels the next morning were more expensive. [/quote]
