General Information » Money » Tipping

To tip or not is entirely up to you. It is not expected in the same way it might be in America, but it is always appreciated. Tipping is more common in swanky restaurants. If the service is good, tip 10% of the total bill. Taxi drivers are happy if you round up their fare. For porters, work on $2 per bag. You will often see a saucer for tips in cafes. Again, it is not expected, but feel free to add any small change if the service was good. It is not the custom to tip bar staff or doormen, but it will always be appreciated.
