It’s the first date and you want to make it a  treat. A dinner date is normally the go to idea but just  how much should you budget?

The aim is to keep the person happy and impressed without being left in debt afterwards. 

Most restaurants start at approximately  $4000 per person in Jamaica. If you are really on a budget, this would include a shared appetizer, main and drinks- dessert if you feel like a treat. 

The safest bet is to check the menu the day beforehand and plan around a mid-range meal, at least three drinks, dessert and a tip.
