A midday meal is a great entry point if you’re curious to try out some of the city’s more expensive restaurants. These prix-fixe or table d’hôte lunches typically offer two to three courses and coffee or tea at some of the city’s top tables, for a fraction of the price of the restaurants’ dinner offerings.
