McDonald’s is supposed to be the cheap, easy fallback meal. That is exactly why one TikToker’s fast-food run in Switzerland has people doing a double take after she revealed that her order for one came out to about £65, or roughly $87.39. A British creator Eloise Fouladgar filmed herself trying a spread of Swiss McDonald’s items while declaring she was at the “most expensive McDonald’s in the world.”
The hook was simple and brutal: this was not some huge group order or family feast. It was one person, one McDonald’s trip, and a total that looked more like a casual sit-down dinner than a fast-food stop. Switzerland has long had a reputation for very high McDonald’s prices compared with other countries, and food-price comparisons like the Big Mac Index have repeatedly placed it among the most expensive markets for the chain.
What made the video even more interesting is that the menu was not just standard burgers and fries with a shocking bill attached. McDonald’s Switzerland really does offer items that feel more dressed up than the usual U.S. lineup, including Pepper Potatoes, a Lotus Biscoff McFlurry, a Nutella Donut, McPops in multiple flavors, and a chocolate-filled pie made with Swiss chocolate, all of which are listed on the official Swiss McDonald’s menu.
In the video, Fouladgar worked through several of those items one by one. Reporting on the clip says she started with pepper wedges and a cocktail dip, admitted the smell threw her off at first, then changed her tune after tasting them and rated them highly. The nuggets, on the other hand, did not win her over. She reportedly said the nine-piece order cost £10 by itself and criticized them for lacking crispness and tasting soggy.
The desserts seemed to save the experience. Fouladgar was especially impressed by the Nutella doughnut, which she reportedly called one of the best things she tried, and she also reacted positively to the coffee milkshake and the Lotus McFlurry, praising the amount of topping compared with what she was used to seeing in the UK. She also sampled McPops in flavors like forest berry jam, apple cinnamon, and chocolate hazelnut, along with a Swiss chocolate pie that she compared to a hot fudge pudding.
That mix of shock and temptation is probably why the video took off. On one hand, people hear “McDonald’s” and expect cheap comfort food, not a total creeping toward ninety dollars. On the other hand, the Swiss menu clearly has novelty on its side. A Nutella donut and Lotus McFlurry are exactly the kind of items that make viewers say they would try it once, even if they would complain about the price the entire time. The official Swiss menu backs that up by showing a noticeably broader dessert and snack selection than many customers are used to seeing elsewhere.
The real punchline is that even after all the sticker shock, Fouladgar’s final verdict was not a flat-out no. According to coverage of the video, after trying the food and reacting to the bill, she concluded it was “probably” worth it. That answer feels about right for a viral luxury-fast-food moment: too expensive to justify, too interesting to ignore, and just indulgent enough that people still want to watch every bite.
