What is the "Overpriced Restaurants on Calle La Calzada" scam in Granada?

Question

Accepted Answer

The tourist strip of Calle La Calzada has restaurants that price menus significantly above local rates and add undisclosed service charges and cover fees. Some establishments have two menu versions — a tourist menu and a local menu — with substantially different prices. Menus near the Parque Central end of the street tend to be the most inflated. Walk to the far end of Calle La Calzada toward the malecón for better value, or venture one block off the main strip. Ask to see a menu with prices before sitting down. Confirm whether service charge is included. Compare prices with what locals are paying at adjacent comedores (local diners) — if the difference is large, the tourist markup is high.
