Asda Money picks their top spots for dining out on a budget
Portugal
Portugal has been crowned as the cheapest popular holiday destination in Europe to enjoy a meal out. A three-course meal costs a family of four just under GBP 50(i) including a bottle of house wine in a local restaurant.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is another popular holiday destination which offers plentiful cheap eats to suit all tastes and budgets. A three course evening meal for two adults with a bottle of house wine could cost just GBP 18.12(ii). Not only can Sri Lanka offer tasty treats, but the country is home to some of the world-s most stunning tropical beaches and climates.
Spain
British holidaymakers flock to Spain and it remains one of the nation-s favourite holiday destinations. Overall costs make it a cheaper destination to visit than Portugal if you-re considering a sunny European destination; however, eating is slightly more expensive. A three course evening meal for two adults with a bottle of house wine would set you back GBP 22.73 in Spain compared to GBP 21.82 in Portugal.(iii)
India
For those on a shoe-string budget, India might be a great holiday destination option. You can often find cheap eats and happily live off as little as GBP 15 a day for meals out. You can find a range of traditional Indian foods, ideal for those who like curry.
Mexico
Mexico offers a diverse range of sights and sounds, however, when it comes to food, it is largely a meat eating country which gives vegetarians very few options. A three course evening meal for two adults with a bottle of house wine costs just over GBP 26.(iv)
