Yes, eating out can be expensive here, especially if you choose upscale restaurants. Places that serve specialty cuisines like Western or Japanese food tend to have higher prices. If you eat out often, the costs can add up quickly. Plus, taxes and service charges make the bill even bigger. So, while it's nice to dine out, it can be a costly habit.

No, I don't think eating out is always expensive. There are plenty of affordable options, like street food and local eateries, which offer delicious meals at reasonable prices. Fast food chains also provide budget-friendly meals. Many restaurants have set menus or offer discounts, making casual dining accessible to most people. Students, in particular, can find cheap options near their campuses.

It really depends on where you go and what you choose. In urban areas, dining out can be more expensive compared to rural places. The type of restaurant also affects the cost; a fancy place will cost more than a casual eatery. Time of day matters too, as lunch is often cheaper than dinner. Special occasions or holidays might have higher prices, but dining with a group can sometimes reduce costs by sharing dishes.
