Restaurant Meals
The average restaurant ( restauracja ) is open from late morning through to mid-evening. Until recently, all but the smartest closed early, winding down around 9pm in cities, earlier in the country, although these days there's more variety and most cities now boast several late-opening options (particularly at weekends). Bear in mind that the total shutdown principle, applied around religious festivals and public holidays, often applies to restaurants. In smaller towns, the big hotels may be the only place open. Although many restaurant menus , particularly in the bigger cities, are in both Polish and English, those in smaller, rural places will usually be in Polish only. Menus are broken up into courses with separate headings: zupy (soups); przekaski (starters/hors d'oeuvres); dania drugie (main course); dodatki (side dishes); desery (desserts); and napoje (drinks). While the list of dishes apparently on offer may be long, in reality only things with a price marked next to them will be available, which will normally reduce the choice by fifty percent or more. If you arrive near closing time or late lunchtime, the waiter may inform you there's only one thing left. There are no hard and fast rules about tipping , although it's increasingly common to leave an additional ten to fifteen percent, or round the bill up to the nearest convenient figure.
