Cultural Insight: Dining Etiquette

In Spanish-speaking countries, it is customary to greet everyone in the restaurant, including staff and fellow diners, with a friendly ‘¡Hola!’ or ‘Buen provecho!’ when entering or leaving. Remember to use ‘por favor’ (please) and ‘gracias’ (thank you) when interacting with servers to show respect.
