Yes, tipping is part of the culture in Brussels, as it is in the rest of Belgium. However, it is not as common or expected as it might be in some other countries. In Belgium, a service charge is often included in the bill at restaurants and bars, and this fee is intended to cover tips for the staff. If you receive excellent service and want to show appreciation, leaving a small tip is always a nice gesture, but it is not obligatory. In general, Belgians tend to round up the bill or leave a few extra euros as a tip. For example, if the bill is €48, it is common to leave €50 and consider the extra €2 as a tip.
