How to Behave In a Restaurant
Public places in Germany like restaurants or cafes require certain behavior.
Learn how to get the most pleasure out of it.
Difficulty
Level:
Easy
Time Required:
2 hours
Here's How:
- Wish others at your table Guten Appetit before you begin
eating.
- Wish others Prost! (Cheers!) before you begin drinking.
- If you need to call a waiter, say "Herr Ober, bitte!", or
"Kellner bitte", or catch his eyes while he is hurrying past
and say "Koennen wir bitte bestellen?"
- Have both hands (but not the elbows!) on the table during the meal.
- Eat all the food you order, eat up.
- After the dinner is over, ask for your check.
- Say Zahlen, bitte and pay the waiter.
- Don't forget to tip your waiter -- five or ten percent of the total
is OK.
Tips:
- Learn some basic words of German to be able to ask for your bill and
to thank the waiter.
- If you have dinner in group and want to pay separately, you should
let the waiter know about it when ordering the meal to avoid the time
loss afterwards.
- Don't hurry while eating!
