London restaurant prices

Interesting article in The Guardian today about London being the world’s most expensive city for dining out in. The figures come from the new Zagat’s restaurant guide which says that a three course meal with one glass of wine in the average London restuarant now costs £39.09 ($79.59). By comparison the same average meal would cost £35.37 in Paris, £35.10 in Tokyo, £19.30 in New York and £15.63 in Los Angeles.

That’s a huge difference between here and places like the States. Its something to keep in mind if you’re planning a trip to London, cheap places to eat with quality food aren’t going to be found on every corner.
