We're planning to take a dinner cruise while in Paris this spring, and I'm wondering what the protocol is regarding tipping in this setting? The same as cafes, or otherwise?
Thanks! Steve

Bills in bars and restaurants are required by law to include service, but it is customary to round out your bill with some small change unless you're dissatisfied. The amount varies — from €0.15 for a beer to €1.50 - €2.30 after a meal. In expensive restaurants, it's common to leave an additional 5% of the bill on the table.
