  • Listen, the French are into the concept of 'ennui', ok? Don't bring on the wrath of an existentially pissed-off and economically frustrated waitress or waiter because you've left a small tip. Tip 15-20% in restaurants, in bars it's a loonie ($1 CDN) per drink.

  • I didnt that tiping was compilsary in Canada as it isnt in Europe. On a couple of occasions i ve been asked by the person at the bar to give a tip. I found the whole thing really embarassing as it made me feel like if i was mean. In Europe we do tip waiters when they bring food/drinks/whatever at out table but not when we buy our drink at the bar. Anyway that was worth mentioning to avoid you the same embarassment.

  • Tip. In general, we give 15% to waitress, hairdresser, taxi driver, ... Rule of thumb, it's the amount of the taxes!

  • One annoying thing about travelling is that you never know what to tip (or if you even should!!!!). I remember a friend trying to tip a waitress in Costa Rica, he only succeeded in confusing her. Here, it's simple: look at your bill, check the amount for the tax and that's your tip. We're taxed about 15% and you should be tipping 15%

  • You might feel like you're in Europe, but this is Canada, and tipping is expected. It is between 10 and 20%.
