There’s leftovers in the fridge.
While going out for a meal is one of the great pleasures of life, it is becoming a much more expensive habit of late.
Meal prices have shot up in recent years across Ireland and it’s no surprise to see two Irish cities amongst the most expensive places to dine in Europe.
According to a new study by Ferry GoGo, Dublin and Cork have been included in Europe’s top 15 most expensive cities to eat out in.
The report examined the price of a three-course meal for two people in a mid-range restaurant, with Dublin ranking in eight place, notching up an average price of €90.
Cork was a bit further down the list at 14th, but you’re not saving much compared to the capital, at €85 for a meal.
