Bon Appétit !

To me, French Cuisine is very romantic, artistic, diverse and imaginative. I think most people would agree with me that eating at a French restaurant can be very expensive due to the high quality of food, good service and impressive atmosphere. Also, if you don't know French, it could seem intimidating. Therefore, I've searched a list of terms in French menu, I hope it could be helpful for you!
