Based on the same inflation data from Statistics Canada, if you had a restaurant bill for $48.50 in 2005, the equivalent amount you would pay today in late 2025 is approximately: $74.97 This represents an increase of $26.47 due to the 54.6% cumulative inflation over the last 20 years. To put this in perspective: • The “Menu” Effect: While the inflation index suggests $74.97, restaurant prices often outpace general CPI because they are heavily influenced by specific rising costs in food (commodities like beef and dairy), labor, and commercial rent.

In 20yrs, the Rivoli prices have about doubled, while min wage increased close to 2.5x. I’d say the Riv has kept their prices reasonable.

In 2045 you can do this again with today’s prices… It’s called inflation
Ah, 2005 – the food was apex and the cost was payable. Love this.
Would be $90-100 now.
In my mind, this is still what it should cost lol
I was just telling my partner I miss $4 pints. Now I’m excited when the special is $8. Smh
Honestly this was exceptionally cheap for 2005
Today’s pricea depending on where you go…
Burger: $17
Caesar: $14
Dinner 2: $29.99
3x draft: $27
With tips and tax, we are looking at about $100
