Our most expensive restaurant here, as far as I'm aware, is Raymond's:

It's the go-to place. For example, when King Danny had the Habs officials in town last week, that's where he took them.
Raymond's looks fantastic. It's the first place I'd go for dinner if I was to visit St.Js.

But yeah, $30 for a bowl of ramen is RIDICULOUS. I can get a fantastic bowl of ramen from a michelin star Japanese restaurant in increasingly expensive Shanghai for $10. It's a peasant dish, and should never cost that much. Anyone who pays that much for a bowl of noodles from a place that isn't even Japanese is insane.
