An authentic French cuisine is not only a demonstration of cooking skills, but also a reflection of culture and connotation. Whether it's a business banquet or a romantic date, an elegant French dinner is the best choice.

To taste an elegant and wonderful French meal, we must first understand the basic etiquette of dining. Let me give you a brief introduction:

French dishes are served in the order of appetizer, soup, fish, jelly and side dishes, followed by barbecue, salad, dessert and coffee.

Dining etiquette:

1 When entering the dining room, the lady should be the first, and the man sitting in the back should open the seat for the lady in front; When all the ladies have seats, men can also sit down.

When eating, you should put your hands on the table, not under it.

When eating seafood, the napkin should be placed flat on your knees and tied around your neck.

Keep your body upright and don't lean back.

Wipe your hands and mouth. Don't rub hard. Just gently print off the oil stain with a corner of the napkin.

Matters needing attention when drinking, drinking and drinking:

1 If you have four cups in front of you, the big one is used to hold water, the middle one is used to hold red wine, the small one is used to hold white wine, and the slender one is used to hold champagne.

Hold the goblet column with your thumb, forefinger and middle finger when holding the cup. Don't lift a finger when holding the cup, and don't hold the cup wall with your palm.

When you drink something in a cup, you should first swallow the chew in your mouth, then put the knife and fork in a figure of eight or cross into the plate, then wipe your lips with a napkin, and then drink water.

There will be an aperitif at a formal French dinner, and the dinner will not officially begin until everyone has finished drinking the aperitif.

French food is basically red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat, and most desserts will be accompanied by sweet table wine.

The French are very particular about tableware;

1 will have three or four pairs of knives and forks on both sides of the plate. In most cases, every dish is served with the outermost knife and fork first, and then removed as needed.

2 If the spoons are of different sizes, the big spoons are only used for drinking soup or public use; Small spoons can be divided into candy and coffee, the latter is one size smaller than the former.

When eating, put down the knife and fork and put them on both sides of the plate, with the head of the knife and fork inward and the fork teeth downward.

Don't hold the knife all the time, and don't lift it. After cutting the food, put down the knife and put it on the parallel right side of the plate, then eat it with a fork.

When you finish eating or signal that the plate can be withdrawn, you should put the knife and fork in the plate parallel and obliquely, with the fork teeth facing up. The fork is close to you, and the knife is far away.

Edible bread:

1 If the bread is in your place, you can pick up the basket at will and let the diners on your right take it away.

Put the bread on the small plate on your left. When eating bread, tear off a piece of bread with your hand and put it in your mouth. Don't bite bread directly with your mouth unless it is a sandwich.

If you want to butter the bread, you should tear it off piece by piece by hand and then divide it into small pieces. Of course, when you have breakfast, you can spread butter and jam on a long and a half French baguette. But not at dinner.

Generally, you don't need a plate for bread and butter. Only on formal occasions do people dip bread in butter or other sauces.

Tip:

The service charge is usually included in the bill of French restaurant in China, but if we are satisfied with the service, we can still leave a tip.
