Tipping Culture
Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated
Tipping in Brazil is not mandatory and is not really part of the culture. However, the tip is sometimes already included in the restaurant bill as a service charge. Any extra tipping is much appreciated as a reward for good service. Some service providers such as porters are used to receiving tips and will expect them.
