Restaurant Scams in Jasper

Restaurant Overcharging in Jasper Townsite

With only a handful of restaurants serving a captive tourist audience in the small Jasper townsite, some establishments charge premium prices for standard Canadian fare without disclosing the full cost upfront. Specials listed verbally by staff often carry significant surcharges not mentioned at the time, and portion sizes frequently do not match menu descriptions. Wine and beer markups of 400% above retail are common at peak season.
