In Europe, tax and tip are always included. Those who leave an extra tip will normally only leave a couple of euros, though it is by no means required.<BR/><BR/>Even if they weren't included, it would still be a good deal. Take Le Beurre Noisette's 32 euro meal. With TVA (18%) and a 18% tip, it would be around 44 euros. Even with conversion into dollars, (about $64) it would be easily what you would pay for such a meal in a major US city. (assuming $10 app, $27 entree, $10 dessert, with tax and tip added).JFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08400004558698168350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20436513.post-18070625620745827382009-01-30T11:03:00.000-05:002009-01-30T11:03:00.000-05:00For all of the bistronomic prixe fixe meals you've written about, does the price include "value added tax"/tip?Bennoreply@blogger.com
