How it works
Restaurants on Ulica Dluga and Dlugi Targ use tourist-trap pricing strategies including photo menus that omit prices, cover charges not mentioned on the menu, and bills that include items not ordered. Some restaurants place staff outside to actively solicit tourists with verbal promises of specials that are not reflected in the menu price. Traditional Polish dishes like pierogi and zurek are available at a fraction of the price in restaurants one street back.
