Dining at a French restaurant is different from dining at any other type of restaurant. It is not simply about enjoying French food. It is about an entire experience.

Here are some tips for enjoying the experience of dining at a French restaurant:

• Fully immerse yourself in the experience. The French restaurant is designed to delight all of the senses.
• Learn a little bit of French vocabulary before you go. It will be more fun if you can order some of the items in their natural tongue.
• Dress for the occasion. Dress up to go to a French restaurant. If you’re taking your kids along then put them in some cute European boutique clothing like that sold by Catimini or Room Seven.
• Plan for a long meal. Take all of the time that you need to enjoy a multi-course meal. Enjoy a little bit of everything. The trick to eating French food is to taste a lot of rich foods without overindulging in any of them.
• Get a designated driver. You should always enjoy great wine with French food so plan on having someone who isn’t drinking there to drive you home.
• Don’t skip dessert. It’s the best part of the meal!
