Restaurant Scams in Reykjavik

Restaurant Menu Price Switching

Tourist restaurants in central Reykjavik (especially around Hallgrímskirkja and Laugavegur) display menus with prices in the window, but once seated, servers present a different menu or claim prices have changed. Fish and seafood dishes are particularly prone to this, with final bills double or triple the advertised amount. Staff become evasive when questioned about price differences.
