　　In a western restaurant, each person generally orders their own food or dishes and eats. what they order. Western people don't usually put all of the food in the middle of the table and share unless they are eating pizza.

　　One of the biggest differences between Chinese restaurants and western ones is the noise. Most western restaurants are quiet and people spear in quiet voices, they avoid shouting, especially to the staff.

　　Both Chinese and western people love to drink with their food especially wine or beer. The difference is that usually there will only be one or two toasts during the meal. It is not necessary to toast each time you pick up your glass. When the bill at the end of the meal comes, most people like to divide the bill equally by the number of people eating. This is called “going Dutch”.

　　If the service and the food have been good, you should leave a tip. Usually ten percent of the bill is a good tip.
