Can't afford to go to restaurants every week

Hello everyone
I have some friends at university who I meet up with sometime during the week. The problem is that they want to go to restaurants all the time and I just can't afford it. The restaurants they choose are very fancy high end restaurants. I try to suggest cheaper options of where we could meet like dominoes pizza or just going for a coffee, but they say they prefer restaurants.

I worked for hours 6 days a week in the summer and I still work quite a lot now that I am studying but I really can't afford it anymore.

What should I do?

Are they a new group of friends? How did you get to third year and only finding it a problem now? I’d do as suggested above or just drop them. What do you have in common? AFAIK current students are just as penniless as 20 years ago, if not more so.

Yes they are a new group. I just like their company tbh. Some of of students at my uni don't have much money (myself includeed) but quite a few of them a rich international students
