As you are about to pay the check of your meal, please remember that unlike what happens in the US, gratuities, aka tips, are already included in the bill, so you should only leave up to a couple of € for the bus-boy and not a percentage of the check for the whole crew.
The following is an ever changing list of restaurants grouped in self-explained categories, according to our own personal experience, or that of trusted friends. We keep adding new listings as we become aware of them, but sometimes we fail to timely remove a venue which did not survive the hard times or the quality standards we expect. We apologize in advance, and promise to keep updating the page!
