Unwinding together at the table, glasses clinking and plates brimming. There\u2019s time for each other, to laugh and to chat. After all, you’re on holiday and you can do whatever you like. Nevertheless, you can\u2019t leave the restaurant at the end of the evening without paying. Do you leave a tip if the food and service were good and atmosphere just right? If so, how much tip of a tip is normal? There are no hard and fast rules, but here\u2019s what\u2019s usually done.<\/strong><\/p>\n

France<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s useful knowing what tipping rules normally apply when dining out in this land of cheese and wine. Here, the tip is often already included in the meal. If that\u2019s not the case, you\u2019ll see \u2018service non compris\u2019 on your bill, and a ten percent service charge is expected.<\/p>\n

Germany<\/h2>\n

Tipping in Germany is estimated the same way as in the Netherlands. You can leave a tip of five to ten percent, but it\u2019s not compulsory. You\u2019re advised not to leave the tip on the table, but to take it to the bar.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Italy<\/h2>\n

Just like in France, in Italy the tip (ten percent) is included in the bill. That means before being crafty with the tip after paying for your pizza, first check whether this is already in the total amount. You\u2019ll sometimes see \u2018coperto\u2019 on the bill. This is a small amount between \u20ac0.50 and \u20ac4 for the cover charge and bread served.<\/p>\n

Spain<\/h2>\n

There are no fixed percentages for tipping in Spain and it\u2019s down to the customer to decide \u2013 particularly in tapas bars and smaller restaurants. However, a tip of five to ten percent is appreciated in larger establishments.<\/p>\n

Croatia<\/h2>\n

Service charge is usually included in the price of the food in this South European country. Nevertheless, a tip of five to ten percent is expected when you pay. They at the least assume you\u2019ll round up the amount.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands<\/h2>\n

In the Netherlands, it\u2019s normal to add five to ten percent onto the bill, but that isn\u2019t obligatory. If you\u2019re just going for a cup of coffee, rounding up will do \u2013 unless it\u2019s only five cent. And it\u2019s worth knowing that \u2018pouring all your coins onto the table\u2019 isn’t a good look.<\/p>\n
