A service charge of 16% is legally included in Belgian restaurant bills, though the practice varies. Additional tipping is optional and given for exceptional service.
Belgian law requires service to be included in the listed price, but not all restaurants do this clearly — always check.

By law, the price you see should be all-inclusive. In practice, check your bill — some restaurants add it, others include it in menu prices.
An extra tip beyond any included service charge is entirely optional and given as genuine appreciation, not obligation.
