Street Food Price Index

What one tasting costs in 120 neighbourhoods we cover, in local money. Each range is taken from the prices in our checked guides for that area: most tastings fall inside it.

These are the vendors' own food prices: you pay each vendor directly. They are not the price of a BestByLocals guide.

How we work it out: for each area we take every priced tasting in our largest guide and show the range that covers the middle 80% of them, in the local currency. Prices are the vendors' own, checked and dated in each guide; the date each area was last verified is on its page. We don't convert currencies, so the ranges are exact rather than estimated.
