Price Increases.

Well we're nearing the end of the Winter Season, & it's been a quiet one for everybody.

As Louise have been going around, we've been keeping an eye on the prices in bars & restaurants, not only in Costambar, but elsewhere as well. Obviously we have a professional interest in these things.

It seems that in the past few weeks, some places have been quietly increasing their food prices, some by 20 Pesos, 30 Pesos, some by more. All power to them if they feel they can charge that for prices in the supermarkets & for fuel have been climbing steadily this Winter.

At MarLou's, however, our prices have remained the same, as have the ingredients & the recipes. We haven't & we won't raise our food prices until the season is well & truely over. Furthermore we will not add the "tourist tax" of 10% & 16% to your bill in order to show artificially low headline menu prices.

One thing worried me when I was preparing this blog. What about our Gold Club Member offers? Have our Gold Club deals got worse over the season? Well, I ran the numbers, comparing like for like, & found that our Gold Club Members would pay the same price today for a two-course meal & drink as they did in November when we launched MarLou's.

You can rest assured that you will always get great value at MarLou's.
