Sorry but you're exaggerating, a full meal including drinks in a mid-level establishment will be at max. 50 chf and that's being generous. And with cheaper places you can even stay below 20 chf.

Yes, Switzerland is expensive but there's no need to lie about it. Also the stuff about millionaires and all maybe fits a couple streets in Switzerland that are very touristy but there are plenty of places not at all like this.

Donair? What's that? Fancy Doner Kebab made with Don Perignon and air?

My first experience with this food was in Halifax decades ago. The Halifax Donair is a unique thing.

And it's definitely Donair, not Doner.

Funny enough you are legally not allowed to call that a Döner in the EU. (Döner by law must not use ground beef. If they do you can call them Kebab,but not Döner)

y'all are missing out on the kapsalon

It’s the French transliteration. Doner would be pronounced “donay”.

A full meal including drinks will usually run 50 chf per person if you're a couple most meals will run 100+ - it is possible to eat on a budget (we've usually relied on sausage stands and donair). And yea, I'm mostly talking about what you'll find in Lucerne, Zurich, or Geneva where you're likely to visit.

I don‘t know where you‘re eating lol. A döner in zurich is about 14-15 francs at the moment never seen one for 18 francs and they increased prices the last two years as well.

If you‘re having a meal and drinks for 50 francs per person you have likely been to a fancy restaurant. Don‘t get me wrong, it absolutely is possible to easily go over 50 francs, however its also is very easy to stay below that and still have a good experience.
