"Negotiate the Price, Then Order a Meal!" Top 5 Page for this destination Turkey Warnings Or Dangers Tip by Weissdorn

Most foreigners are happy to see that this practice is slowly disappearing - restaurant menus without prices.
When you go to a restaurant in Turkey, and they do not have prices on their menu, WATCH OUT!
Because legally they can charge whatever they want to, once you've been fed, and no price was negotiated prior to your order.
I made this painful discovery once after order two simple plates of kebab. The waiter insisted on 40 $ - whereas the normal paying customer would have paid only 10 $.
Scalping tourists on prices is not considered immoral in Turkey; it's considered clever entrepreneurship. So when you get the bill and start to get really mad, the waiter will be offended, because he considers that he is not responsible for your own “stupidity”.
The tactics of this game can be full of tricks. Basically, if you happen to come to a restaurant where the prices are obviously missing, you should not consume anything they plop in front of you on the table. Although this may seem like gratis food, very often it isn’t. When you ask the waiter about a price, sometimes they will try to pacify you be saying, “Oh, Efendi, I make you good price, very good price!”. Yeah, right. Don’t bet on it! Get a definite price. If you are by yourself, he should write it down on a piece of paper before you order. Some may react to this practice by saying, “Oh, Efendi! You say I am cheating person!” Then explain to them that you were already cheated once (even if you weren’t) and now you have to play it safe, because you never want to ever accuse anyone of cheating again. For most this sounds sensible, and most will go along with it. If they give you anything, like bread, wine, olives, fruit, ask if this is included, because if you don’t it might cost extra.
