Can confirm. I spent six weeks in Zurich in 2011 for work. It was a good thing it was for work, because the client covered our food and lodging. I’ve been to some insanely expensive places (and live in a relatively expensive place now), but nothing has ever quite matched the shock of Zurich prices for, basically, everything, and I don’t imagine the situation has gotten better in the decade since. I remember, at the time, paying CHF32, which was almost $40 with exchange rates, for what amounted to decent (but still fast-food) General Tso chicken.
