- Which side dishes are included?
- What currency is expected?
- Is service already included?

Ask the final price first
Do not order lobster, a bottle or a special plate until the restaurant clearly explains the final amount and currency.

- Carry smaller denominations.
- Keep taxi money separate.
- Do not display your full cash reserve.
- Review the bill before paying.
- Ask for clarification when a conversion is unclear.

- Ask your hotel, casa or driver to verify the restaurant.
- Confirm whether a reservation is needed.

- Agree on the taxi fare before leaving.
- Set a return time when dining late.
See Transportation in Cuba for planning taxis and transfers.
