Times for meals are late in comparison to other countries:
- Lunch is usually from 13:30 to 15:30.
- Dinner at 21:00 or 22:00. It is difficult to find dinner before 20:30.
A typical lunch is called "Menú del día" (menu of the day) and consists of a starter, a main course a drink (water, beer or soft drink) and a dessert or coffee (Sometimes it includes both dessert and coffee).
In restaurants, it is not as common to leave a tip as it is in other countries. You can leave an small tip, but it's not usual to leave more than 5% of the price.
Most of the food is not vegetarian. If you're a vegetarian, you can say: "Soy vegetariano/a" and see what they offer you.
