Restaurant Scams in Santo Domingo

Overpriced Tourist Restaurants in Zona Colonial

Restaurants in the Zona Colonial, particularly those with prominent positions on Parque Colón and along Calle El Conde, use menus in multiple languages with inflated tourist prices. Some establishments add undisclosed service charges and cover charges to bills. Waiters sometimes steer tourists toward expensive dishes and add unprompted extras like bread and dips that appear on the final bill.
