How it works
Restaurants immediately adjacent to West Edmonton Mall, the Alberta Legislature grounds, and the Royal Alberta Museum inflate prices compared to comparable restaurants two or three blocks away. Tourist-facing menus in high-traffic areas rely on one-time visitor traffic and may add automatic gratuity or charge for items visitors assume are included, such as bread service or water.
