Why Restaurants Are So Fucked

A good Döner in Berlin runs about €5, this restaurant is in Canada where CA$11 = €7.

It's slightly more expensive than dirt-cheap Berlin, but it's hard to compete with dirt-cheap Berlin. Berlin is wonderfully cheap in every aspect. Most of the western world can't compete with that.

Try having a similar Döner in Zürich and you'll be wishing for that $11.

And try any small German town and it will be cheaper.

Zurich being in Switzerland which has one of the highest costs of living in the world is not really a good comparison. It's like saying "beer in X is cheaper than in Norway" - it will nearly always be true ;)
