Restaurant Scams in Accra

Osu Oxford Street Restaurant Overcharge

In Accra's Osu neighbourhood and along Oxford Street, some restaurants targeting the expat and tourist crowd add discretionary charges to bills — cover fees, service levies, or inflated prices on vaguely described menu items. Menus may not display prices at all, and staff provide verbal quotes that do not match the final receipt. The informal enforcement of payment can feel coercive, particularly in venues with limited entry and exit points.
