 Nad Uvozem Restaurant - Hradcany by Eugenetheduck After ordering a meal at a restaurant Czechs do not say thank you to the waiter. They think it quite funny that foreigners do...my Czech teacher thinks it's hillarious. It is hard not to say thank you...I consciously have to stop myself...have a go! If you want the attention of a waiter you say ....'prosim vas!' (pro-seem vaas) If you want the bill ...... 'ucet prosim!' (oo-chet pro-seem) Leave a Comment

In the Czech Republic it is considered rude to leave the tip on the table. Either include it in what you give the waiter or give your tip straight back when you are given your change. You should typically tip 10%; more if your are in a large group. Most places don't include the tip in the bill and are usually very keen to point this out. Leave a Comment

 The interior of Chez Marcel by TravelChick67 When in Prague, be sure to bring a little patience with you in terms of customer service in restuarants and shops. It is true that this is an area that needs a little work but remember, up until just over a decade ago, there was NO SUCH THING as customer service. They're still learning and as such, service isn't always with a smile and is sometimes rough around the edges. Not so much at the finer establishments but the little "diner" type places and bistros. Two places we had quite good service were Chez Marcel and Rugantino's Pizza. Leave a Comment

After you get a bill in a restaurant, never leave money on the table. The waiter/waitress will wait there while you decide the total that includes tip and give you appropriate change. Tip 10% or if the service was great, a little more. Leave a Comment

At most restaurants, you will be charged for a "table setting charge", meaning the table settings and the bread. This is normal, so don't think you're being robbed! Anyway, it is a very low fee... See it as a discounted 15-20% tip we leave in the US! And if you were happy with your service, it does not hurt to leave a few coins and let the struggling waiter/waitress know you were happy with their service =) Leave a Comment

It is quite common when you go to eat at restaurants, to be seated with another person or couple. This usually doe snot happen in touristy restaurants but it does at the ones that have a local crowd. So don't be surprised, and take advantage of that: that person usually lives there and know everything about the town you are actually trying to discover! Leave a Comment

 Kr by jolsen05 Many guidebooks will tell you the proper tip is no more than 10%, 15% for excellent service. If you aren't on a tight budget, disregard this advice. For those of us using the Pound and the Euro (soon my dollar as well), many of our meals and drinks in Prague are relatively dirt cheap. Yet the people serving us these delectible treats aren't making much money, and are working long hours. Usually, I'll sit down for a meal and get excellent service from a hardworking waitress who, quite frankly, shouldn't be smiling at the end of a 10 hour shift. My bill will be so cheap, I'll give about a 50% tip (make sure to ask the server if they actually receive the tip first). It's good to know a couple extra pounds can help a hardworking Czech local, and a beautiful Czech smile is well worth the price. Leave a Comment

No Czech person ever leaves a tip on the table. The way you tip is this: the bill comes to 90Kc, if you give the waiter a 100Kc note, he would expect to keep it (i.e. you have given the bill +10%. In Czech you would normally tell the waiter how much to take i.e if the bill was for 120kc I would give the waiter a 200kc note and tell him to take 140kc. (I have given him a 20kc tip) He would then give me the change of 60kc. If you do not know Czech numbering it's best to wait for the change and IMMEDIATELY give your tip back to the waiter as we don't leave a tip on the table here.

Its not like America where men open the door for the ladies, they go into a restaurant first, i don't know why but don't embarrass yourself girls! I did a few times and didn't catch on for the first few days! Leave a Comment

If you say cheers and/or 'clink' your beer with a local, always look them in the eyes. It is rude and an insult if you don't. Leave a Comment
