Dining Etiquette

Fish
To prepare for a meal with locals in Estonia, dress conservatively,
bring a gift like chocolates, and arrive on time. Estonians are fairly private people
so they will probably take you straight to their dining room without showing you
any other part of their house. Instead of trying to look into adjoining rooms, offer
to help your host prepare the meal, an offer which may be accepted.
As you sit down your host will show you your seat, but don't actually sit until
everyone sits. The meal will typically consist of a number of dishes, like cold
appetizers, a soup, and the main course, which is often served with bread. Eat in
the continental style (knife in the right hand, fork in the left) and once finished,
leave nothing on your plate. Conversation over a meal should be conservative like
the dress; politics, business (even if at a business dinner), and any controversial
subject is off limits.
When eating at a sit down restaurant with a server, you should round up or tip about
10% of the bill. In bars a tip is appreciated but not necessary.
