Restaurant Scams in Marrakech

Djemaa el-Fna Restaurant Menu Switch

Restaurants with touts stationed at the entrances around Djemaa el-Fna present tourists with menus showing low prices — often 40–60 MAD for tagine — then deliver a bill two to three times higher, citing a different "tourist menu" or adding undisclosed charges for bread, water, and service. The discrepancy only becomes apparent at the end of the meal when confrontation in a busy restaurant is awkward.
