Restaurant Scams in Essaouira

Fish Grill Overcharge on the Ramparts

The fish grill stalls on the Essaouira port and along the ramparts near Skala du Port display fresh catch prominently and invite tourists to choose fish by weight. Prices quoted per kilo are sometimes applied incorrectly, fish is weighed inaccurately, or extra dishes (bread, salads, mint tea) are added to the bill as mandatory sides.
