LONDON IS now the most expensive place in the world to eat out, according to the new Zagat guide.
The average meal in the capital (three courses with one glass of wine) costs 57 euros, up 2.9 per cent from last year.
In Paris, the cost is 51 euros, Tokyo 50 euros, New York 28 euros and Los Angeles 23 euros. Among the 20 priciest restaurants in London, the average meal costs 127 euros, a 6.1 per cent increase over last year’s figure.
At Gordon Ramsay’s flagship venture, 68 Royal Hospital Road, the only eatery in the capital to boast three Michelin stars and the most expensive restaurant featured in the guide, you should expect to part with an average of 155 euros for dinner. Unless they plump for the seven-course “menu prestige” that is, in which case you would be shelling out 159 euros, plus an extra 11.5 euros for the French cheese course. And that’s before you factor in drinks! Probably more than the cost of the flight to get to the UK in the first place!
