1- Be careful when you order in a restaurant or in a coffee shop. Often, the waiter gives you the more expensive thing corresponding to your request. For example, you ask for a coffee and you receive a large one. Think what may happen if you request 'a wine' in a restaurant. Choose precisely on the menu or on the list. They are compulsorily on the shopwindow. 2- Do not leave the change on the table, the waiter can think it is an extra tip and takes up.

At the restaurant, the menu has a fixed price including the dishes and the tip but NOT the beverage. If you ask for water, the waiter will bring you a bottle of water (still or sparkling) which will be added to the bill. 2 sentences can help you to save some money : 1) 'Avec une carafe d'eau s'il vous plait' (with a carafe of water, please) and when the waiter come back with the meal, 2) 'Excusez-moi, vous avez oublié la carafe d'eau' (I apologize, you forgot the carafe of water). The 'carafe d'eau'' is free (the refill too) and they are reluctant to supply it.

Alternative: No. You cannot bring your own bottle of wine. Sorry.
