Sales/Service Tax on Food

[julyn]

Are posted restaurant prices what we actually pay, or is tax calculated on top of them?

Thank you in advance!

No Tax? Even on sit-down meals???

In all the times we've been (6 times thus far) we've never been charged any more than what the prices stated in the menus, in any restaurant we've eaten in.

Tax and tip are included in the price printed on the menu.

As others have said price is as stated. If we have been given good service we like to tip the waiting staff

We always tip a few euros per meal. I know tipping is not expected in quite the same way it is in America, but I like to show appreciation.

The tax is included in the price as others have said, as it is in the UK and most if not all of mainland Europe. What you see is what you pay

Wow!

That is soooo good to know! I don't mind tipping for good service, but I like to know how much it is going to be .
