So, how expensive is it? 'Eat in Paris' says 152 euros. 'Opinionated about Dining' mentions an anniversary menu at 420 and somewhere I saw that the beet was 80. And that wine markups are on the order of 400 per cent? You'd advised L'Arpege in response to my comment noting that I needed to keep the total including wine under $350 so I'm hoping you can confirm this is a reasonable expectation (today's dollar notwithstanding). Thanks much. Pierre Gagnaire is closed during my short stay in August so on your recommendation I sought and secured a reservation at L’Arpege.
