Food

• Vegetarian/vegan meals
  • Vegetarian meals are not always easy to find. Vegan ones are more complicated, but few options are available (see below)
• When lunch and dinner are served
  • Lunch: restaurants usually offer a "lunch menu" with 2-4 choices during working days in 11.00-14.00 timeframe (even if the more choices are usually available after 12.30). The lunch menus are usually visible on http://lunchtime.cz (use this link for restaurants close to the venue) or on the restaurant's website. Restaurants usually do not close after lunch time.
  • Dinner: closing time of the kitchen depends on the place, but usually not before _at least_ 21.30 during working days and a bit later in the weekend. Many places are closed on Sunday.
• Tipping
  • No fixed percentage tips, usually the price is rounded a bit. Usually when you pay, you state the amount you want to give out (price+tip).

Typical drinks served in bars: apart from beers, soft drinks, here are some local specialities:

Some reference prices:
