Maui is expensive but the setting is worth it, always served with a side of aloha. We ate at the Four Seasons on Lana’i and the food was good but the view was spectacular. We just spent $400 on two lunches at Legal Seafood in Boston. Prince Edward Island oysters are small, briny and delicious. Their lobster rolls are fantastic. My philosophy is that life is short- get the good oysters. I think of friends who are no longer with us and how much I would have loved to have them at the table. Having an expensive delicious meal is celebrating life and makes me grateful for our good fortune.
Eating in Norway and Denmark is expensive! We always stay in Scandic hotels for their extensive and free breakfast buffet. Peppe's Pizza are everywhere and their good pizzas are large enough to do a take away portion for later. Keeps more Kroner in our wallets!
While I was stationed in Europe with the US Army, my in laws (from Minnesota) came to visit. The four of us did the usual touring of German castles and the Lake in Zurich in Switzerland (more hype than beauty), then went on to London, England. We stopped at a restaurant called Menage de Trois, (I believe-it's been almost forty years). Something should have warned us that it was going to be expensive when the menu came without prices. We ordered what our server told us what outstanding, fillets of venison and I will admit they were wonderful. The bread rolls in cute little baskets were warm and tasty and even the butter was fresh...and costly. When the bill came, it was WELL over $300 American.
If you want to know the most expensive place to eat, stay at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. The lunch buffet there costs over $100 per person. You won't find a dinner at any of the restaurants for less than $500 for a family of 4. It was insane! We finally ventured off the (fake) island to get to more reasonably priced food. Iceland is also expensive, but at least the food there was excellent.
