Every single time Ive eaten at a restaurant here in Trujillo, the same thing happens. I finish eating and sit around for about twenty minutes with no check or acknowledgement from the waitress. Eventually I go to the counter and ask her what I owe. Am I supposed to get up as soon as Im done or do I say something to get her attention? I saw one guy clap and yell when he was done. What do I do?
Also, I think I was turned away from a restaurant earlier today. Other people were eating, but the waitress came up to me and said they did not have menus. I got up and left. What happened here?
If anyone can reccommend a good restaurant near El Cutural, that would be fabulous.
Thank you, etc etc. |

You either whistle or flag them down and say "la cuenta" and they give it to you. Forget tipping, it's not really done.
Yep, menus, they usually only have a few. |

San Augustin near El Cultural does good smoothies and chicken sandwiches.
Just up Husares opposite Fleming is OK restaurant, which does an OK menu for 4 soles. For yummy seafood Danielitas on Husares does great ceviche, arroz con mariscos etc.
If you are looking for work depending on your qualifications Fleming I think needs a replacement in July. |
