A dispute occurred at a restaurant on the Croatian island of Krk involving four Hungarian tourists who were reportedly asked to leave after ordering only dessert during a busy period. The group had waited 10 to 15 minutes for a table and intended to order four portions of pancakes totaling €28.

The waiter reportedly questioned the group’s decision to occupy a table for four during peak hours while other customers were waiting, leading to a social media debate regarding customer rights versus a restaurant’s right to maximize revenue. 

Mira Horváth, representing the Croatian National Tourist Board, clarified that there is no general legislation in Croatia requiring a minimum spend. She noted that while establishments must clearly display their prices and terms of service, they must adhere to them. Horváth suggested that guests who believe their rights have been violated should contact the State Inspectorate for Hospitality Supervision.
