Restaurant Tips

When traveling it can always seem a bit expensive eating at restaurants each night and you may also be worried about what type of eating habits your picking up. Here are some tips to remember when dining on your trip.


  • In most cafes and restaurants, you seat yourself rather than being shown to a table.
  • In smaller restaurants and cafes where seating is limited, it is customary for complete strangers to share tables.
  • If you’re lucky enough to be eating at a restaurant that has paper napkins, ask for a few more and take them with you
  • In winter, it is normal to leave your coat with an attendant in the cloakroom. In some restaurants a small fee is charged for the privilege.
  • In some cafes, you have to order from a menu, which is posted at the bar. Pay for the food in advance and wait for it. In cafes, table service is common, but not universal.
  • Few establishments have public bathrooms, and those that do rarely advertise the fact. Some might charge a small fee and you should ALWAYS carry your own toilet paper with you.
