A good tip is to try some of the better quality restaurants at lunchtime rather than in the evening, when many expensive places offer real savings through their set menus.

Generally at all restaurants the busiest times are around 8pm, when it can be difficult to get a place without a reservation and customers are settled in for a meal of several courses.

Tipping Culture: Service charges are generally not included so a 10% tip would not be out of place, though not necessarily expected.
