You can pretty much count on any food being about doublle what it would be in the USA at best. We ate at a TGI Friday's there and everything on the menu is about doulbe the price of a similar restaurant in America.
Cokes in a restaurant are about three or four dollars with no refills.
I don't remember Burger King or McDonalds being that expensive but it was about doulbe what it is in the states.
Back in 2002 for my family of four to eat ata Pizza Hut for lunch was about sixty bucks.
In 2006 in Edinburgh Scotland after I almost drowned earlier in the day I celebrated life by ordering the most expensive thing on the hotel restaurant menu wihich was a steak for about $30 and it was not as good a steak as you would get in the USA for about ten bucks somewhere.
