Whoosh! Here we are, on the sunny gem of an island called Dzaoudzi, the main town of the French overseas department of Mayotte! Bursting with friendly locals, warm sunshine, exotic wildlife, and enchanting landscapes, one important question lingers in the air: how to tip?

Exchanging smiles with a server bearing a platter of mouth-watering seafood Paella, you instantly know that good service deserves a good tip here! Tipping at restaurants in Dzaoudzi, quite similar to France, isn't obligatory as a service charge is usually included in your bill. But hey, excellent service deserves an extra spark, doesn't it? Feel free to leave a tip of around 5-10% of the total bill to thank the hardworking staff, making sure your dining experience has that extra pinch of joy!

How much to tip at coffee shops

Oh, the aroma of fresh coffee teasing your senses! In the charming coffee shops of Dzaoudzi, the unspoken tipping rule is slightly different. Does the barista remember your coffee order just the way you like it? Or offer an extra delightful chatter that jump-starts your morning? Then, consider leaving a few coins from your change, an extra Euro or two perhaps. It's not a necessity, but a token of appreciation for their service.

How much to tip at bars

Sipping on a sweet cocktail, the exciting flair of Dzaoudzi's vibrant nightlife tickles the senses. But how much to tip at bars? Here's the simple rundown! For a round of drinks or two, leaving a euro per drink is a general practice. If you’ve had an elaborate evening or received an exceptional service, rounding up the bill or leaving about 10% is a classy gesture to say, "Merci!"

How much to tip in a taxi

Whizzing through the picturesque streets of Dzaoudzi in a taxi, you might wonder about tipping etiquettes. Here in Dzaoudzi, tipping taxi drivers isn't customary. However, if they've narrated curious local legends or pointed out hidden gems along the journey, feel free to round up your fare or tip a small amount as a thank you. It's all about expressing gratitude!

Should you tip with card or cash

Now to our final conundrum, should one tip with a card or cash? To be on the safe side, tipping in cash is preferable to ensure that your generous token reaches directly into the hands of your tireless server, friendly barista, or spirited taxi driver. So, pack some loose change and small bills before venturing out, ready to scatter kindness around Dzaoudzi!

So friends, let’s dive into this unforgettable experience, savoring the stunning sights, delectable cuisine, and the rich culture of Dzaoudzi, sprinkling gratitude through our tips as we go along! Bon voyage!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
