How it works
Restaurants lining the streets immediately inside and outside Bab Bou Jeloud — the main blue gate entrance to the Fes el-Bali medina — operate a two-menu system: one with reasonable prices shown to tourists before seating, another with inflated prices used for billing. Items not clearly listed, such as bread, olives, and mint tea, are added automatically and charged at premium rates. Bills 3–4 times the quoted total are common.
