What is the "Restaurant Overcharging at Beach Promenade" scam in Eilat?

Question

Accepted Answer

Restaurants on the Eilat North and South Beach promenades add service charges of 10-15 percent to bills that are not clearly disclosed on the menu, charge for bread and salads placed on the table as standard Israeli restaurant practice (which is legitimate), and occasionally present bills with items added that were not ordered. Ask whether bread or salads placed on the table carry a charge — in Israeli restaurants these often do, at a known rate. Confirm whether the menu prices include service charge. Request an itemised receipt and check it before paying.
