We just got back from the first two weeks of April and I would estimate that food prices(French side only) may have been up a small amount(10% or less). We did spend a bit more per meal this trip mostly because my wife's taste in wine has moved from the $30-40 per bottle range to the $60-80 range. LOL! We certainly didn't experience any decline in the quality of our meals in the village. We had exceptional meals at LeBouchon, Le Piment, and L'Atelier. Sao and LaFavela were as good as they ever were too.
