Spanish Restaurants Opening Hours

1 October, 2009

Opening Hours

Spanish people eat very late. Normally, they go to restaurants for lunch between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm and for dinner not earlier than 9:00 pm. Restaurants therefore mostly open their kitchen at 9:00 pm and close at about 11: 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.

Prices

Spanish restaurants very often offer three course lunch menus (menú del día) that include salad, plates and a drink for a low price (from 9 to 15 €) every price category.

Tipping

There 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.

Do you want to learn how to cook a real Paella … It is possible to follow a course and then eat it  in the old centre, near the cathedral and the plaza de la Generalitat
