What is the "Restaurant Overcharging in the Centre" scam in Chisinau?

Question

Accepted Answer

Tourist-facing restaurants near Stefan cel Mare Boulevard and in the old centre add service charges, cover charges, and charges for bread placed on the table without being ordered. Bills are often presented in ambiguous formats that make it difficult to verify individual items against the menu. Ask for a priced menu before sitting. Confirm whether any item placed on the table carries a charge before consuming it. Request an itemised receipt and check each line carefully. Restaurants away from the main tourist boulevard are typically priced lower and more transparently.
