In France you should know these 4 steps/stages before you make your order at the restaurant.
-
- Aperitif: this could be in the form of wine or some snacks to prepare you for the next stage.
-
- Entrèe: this would be served before your main food arrives. Sometimes in the form of salades and bagget, it depends on your order.
-
- Plat principal: This is the main food as the name principal indicates. Make sure you leave some space in your stomach for the last episode.
-
- Dessert: After the plate principal, get ready for your dessert before you leave the premises.
I have come to realise that if you do not have time for eating, don’t try the french restaurant.
