[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will be in London, Berlin and Paris this fall. If you are FROM these cities, please tell me exactly how much to tip, either dollar amounts or percentages. Please don't be vague. A friend told me "Just leave a little something" and I was like "So a dollar?" and she glared at me. I don't know what to do and don't want to seem like the ignorant American that I am. [/quote] At full service restaurants? In London, if they don't add a service charge (which is pretty common, usually 10-15%), tip 10-15%. If a service charge, no tip is necessary. In Paris, service is included in bills. It's customary to then leave a small amount if you had good service- if just two people at a basic restaurant, 2-3 euros. If a bigger group, or more expensive place 5-10 is fine. It's not required and you won't be seen as insufferably rude if you left nothing. No idea about Berlin, but generally France and Germany are pretty similar with this type of stuff.[/quote]
