It depends on the steak. Properly cooked Wagyu will blow your mind.

A barkeep in Paris once tried to rip me and a friend off by charging us $18 for a single pitcher of FRENCH beer. (WTF - over?)

He must have figured me for a stupid tourist, but I’d been living in England for a while, and could rapidly calculate francs, to pounds, to dollars.

I wound up paying the fair price for it after reaming him out. In English.

Our Lady Of Fatima said Rome (Europe) will suffer for throwing off the sweet yoke of Her Divine Son.
I have no sympathy for arrogant Europe! They will be overrun by Muslim hoards as a result of abandoning the Faith their foundational Faith! As Israel was destroyed for not recoginizing Our Beloved Savior, so shall Rome be destroyed for not being faithful to His Divine mission. IMHO

Jeans, non-designer: $125.

Beer in a pub: $10

Reputedly, minimum wage was about $20 an hour, but I could not confirm that.

Steak is cheap, here in Montana. We’re up to our necks in beef! People come up to you and beg you to take steak off their hands, no joke.

Tip: NEVER ask for the English menu. The prices are jacked up for tourists. Use the same menu the locals are using, even if you need help translating this or that.

Maybe it was expensive because it was special.
