How it works
Several restaurants on Königstraße and immediately surrounding the Hauptmarkt operate with dual-pricing strategies: they display a menu outside with one set of prices to attract tourists, then present a different menu inside with higher prices — or add unlisted charges such as a Gedeck (cover charge for bread) that was not mentioned when ordering. Restaurants near the Kaiserburg entrance on Burgstraße and along the Weißgerbergasse also use this tactic, particularly during the Christmas market season when demand far exceeds local dining alternatives. Bratwurst platters that appear to be €8–10 on the outside board may be €14–18 on the actual menu delivered to the table.
