Opening HoursSpanish people eat very late. Normally, they go to restaurants for lunch between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm in the afternoon and for dinner not earlier than 9:00 pm. Restaurants therefore mostly open their kitchen at 9:00 pm and close at about 12: 00 am. Nevertheless, due to the huge number of tourists who are not used to eat late, many restaurants in Barcelona start to serve earlier, especially around Las Ramblas and the Barrí Gotic.PricesSpanish restaurants very often offer three course lunch menus (menú del día) that include salad, plates and a drink for a low price (5-15 Euro). In the evenings prices are a bit higher, starting at about 15 Euros. Nevertheless there are restaurants in every price category.TippingThere are no fixed rules for tipping and local people tip very little. It is common to tip about 5 percent for a waiter in a restaurant. Leave the money on the table when you are leaving.
