In reply to Veronica Marks. Yeah, it's a pretty huge markup. Most restaurants will let you bring your own bottle of wine, too, which helps. For spirits, stock up as much as you can in the duty free store if you're flying in.

Thanks for the tip to buy alcohol and wine in the store instead of at the bar. I didn’t realize they mark it up so much! That will definitely help us when we do our land tour of Europe next year!

I also recommend their pancakes (crepes) as food – in fact, I got some ideas for home (in terms of the fillings :D.)
