Business Lunch
Discounts of up to 25% are sometimes available for dining before 4pm or 5pm. Alternat-
ively, many places offer a fixed-price 'business lunch' during this time, which is a great
way to sample some of the pricier restaurants around town.
Booking Tables
Most of the fancier places require booking in advance for dinner, as well as for lunch or
brunch on weekends.
Tipping
The standard for tipping in Moscow is 10%, while a slightly smaller percentage is ac-
ceptable at more casual restaurants. The service charge is occasionally included in the
bill, in which case an additional tip isn't necessary.
