I’ve been to at least a couple of restaurants where 2k RMB would be easy to spend, if a decent bottle of wine was included. The wine is of course hideously overpriced, but regardless there are places set to charge in this vein. I have been out on a business related meal where a $1000 US bottle of Saki was brought to the table, though this was admittedly whilst in Guiyang.
I’ve spent a little upward of 700 on a meal for 2 myself, but if I’m spending more than that in Chengdu, it better be beyond awesome! I dread to think what a bottle of Dom would cost here.
And a 500 RMB buffet for two better include some kick ass cuts of steak for the money!!
