Phat Tips: Double Menus in Restaurants [Travel]


When dinning in a restaurant be careful of the “Double Menus.”

They are menus that are in native language for the locals and in English for tourists. Often, prices in the English menu are much higher then the ones in local language.  Sometime, the restaurant will not even try to hide this scam.  I have encountered restaurants with one menu and two sections, where prices are much higher in the English section often for the same dishes.

Recommended Solution: Take a local friend with you to dine, so that he/she can order everything for the table. OR, when you notice this scam, just walk away.
