I travel quite a bit in Europe and find that Sweden has the highest food costs. (hotels also fairly high, but London is worse). Transportation is also expensive in Sweden - the high speed train from the airport to downtown is over $60 each way. The bus is about 40% of that.

There is a cheap sushi place just a few blocks from Stockholm’s central station - under $20 you get 30 pieces of sushi, salad & miso soup. Even though I’m on an expense account, I typically go there if I have a open meal on my semi-annual trips.
