Where to Eat
Depending on your cravings, budget, and stomach’s resilience, you can choose to eat at markets, small local eateries, or more "classic" restaurants—touristy or not. Typically, restaurant prices include service (10%), but that doesn’t stop you from leaving a small tip.
Markets, street vendors, and "takeaway shops" are the most budget-friendly options, where you can eat simple, ultra-local dishes for under 2 €—though hygiene might unsettle sensitive stomachs. For just a little more, local establishments usually offer a hearty "dish of the day" or a "basic" menu. To enjoy a restaurant more accustomed to tourists, expect around 10 € for a full meal, and more for higher-end dining.
