No ice in their water or soda
No refills on fountain drinks

These are the things that stood out to me whenever I have visited.

I spent a good while in Berlin once and one of my favorite restaurants was this Australian themed place by the IMAX theater just because I could get a nice big Diet Coke with ice in it. Their kangaroo sandwich also wasn’t half bad.

Idk about Berlin, but I’m from the french riviera and we do put ice cubes everywhere.

And by "everywhere" you mean in the pastis.

Indeed. The Ricard is the best seller when it comes to beverages in France. More than the bottled water Cristaline. Isn’t that surprising
