Luring in the Tourists

Convincing the hordes to give you their business should be easy--but the competition is fierce.  In this case, a restaurant advertises one set of prices on the sidewalk (take a look at the photo in white), and a very different set when you are presented a menu at the table (on the reddish light). A nearly 40% markup on some dishes!

For reference, 1 crown, the unit of currency, is about a nickel. So these are $7 dishes that you'll be charged $12 for.

Me, I skipped their printed menu altogether and went with the daily special--a chicken breast with mashed potatoes in a tasty mushroom sauce--for $4.95. You can eat like a medieval king here, for medieval prices, if you're alert!
