Price in Canada do tend to be [much]higher then the US for restaurants, significantly, especially in more affluent cities/burbs/etc. I think prices here track the community relatively closely. Working class places can be more economical. Somethings like steak (much more expensive for quality then in Texas!) tend to have oddly flattened prices, with a good place having prices not *that* much higher then a pretty awful place. Chains tend to be particularly expensive for the quality, and local ethnic joints offering by far the best bang for the buck. Of course, some places in the US (Boston comes to mind) seem to have prices on par with major canadian cities. I've often been shocked at how low my bill is in the US. Also keep in mind that wine tends to be much much more expensive here then much of the US. In my burb, a place like Moxies offers very pedestrian food (though hot hostesses) for roughly the same price as Murray Street downtown, but murray street is generally superb, but would only be found by a keen tourist who sought them out. This is how it tends to go. The burbs in particular tend to be a wasteland of moderately priced ($80 for three seems right and is moderate in that land) chains with food I would only generously call "modest", though it does't usually veer into bad I'll admit so long as you don't try some delicate. I've been buying lots of stuff from the US; your prices have not yet adjusted to the crap dollar even for imported goods, making them much cheaper for us Canucks. I'll email Mc. Sweeny's. |

I've not looked at the info, but if it's avail in a store I can get it next week in CT Paul and mail to you locally. |
