What is the "Restaurant Overcharging on the Riva" scam in Hvar?

Question

Accepted Answer

Restaurants on the Hvar Town Riva promenade use menus that omit prices or present tourist menus at different rates from the Croatian menu, add cover charges and service percentages automatically, and frequently charge for bread, olive oil, and condiments placed on the table without being ordered. Ask for a priced menu before sitting. Confirm whether any item placed on the table carries a charge. Walk one or two streets back from the Riva for significantly lower prices at restaurants serving the same food.
