Dining Etiquette in Czechia (Czech Republic)

At restaurants in Czechia, it is normal to wait to be seated or to ask the staff where to sit, keep your voice moderate, and leave a small tip by rounding up or adding about 5–10% if service was good. Meals are often unhurried and beer is a standard part of dining, so long lunches, hearty dishes like svíčková, and a relaxed pace are more typical than quick turnover or formal fuss.
