En plus, ce restaurant est cher.
On top of that, this restaurant is expensive.
From Lesson 96:Sequence connectors (d'abord, puis...)·French

Questions & Answers about En plus, ce restaurant est cher.

The lesson is about sequence words like d'abord and ensuite. How does en plus fit in?
En plus isn't a step in a timeline like ensuite (next), but it is a very common connector. It means "on top of that" or "furthermore." You use it to add an extra piece of information to your story or argument.
Do I pronounce the 's' at the end of plus in this sentence?
Yes! When you use the fixed phrase en plus to mean "moreover" or "on top of that," you always pronounce the final 's' (so it sounds like "plooss").
Quick refresher: why do we use ce here instead of cet or cette?
Restaurant is a masculine noun starting with a consonant, so it takes ce (this/that). Remember that cet is only for masculine words starting with a vowel sound (like cet hôtel), and cette is for all feminine words.
I thought cher meant dear, like at the start of a letter. Can it mean expensive too?
Yes, it means both! When talking about prices or places like a restaurant, it means "expensive." When talking about people or writing a letter, it means "dear."
