Since the time when Eve gave Adam a delicious apple, there is no pleasure in more than a tasty meal - and the abundance of "nutritious" establishments with often high prices on the menu confirms this. Food is not only a physiological process of satisfying hunger (as one could eat one oatmeal), but enjoying the taste of life itself. And accompanied by a good drink, this process can be compared with paradise bliss altogether.

How many people on Earth - so many dishes. From the point of view of the traveler, this is a real gift - sightseeing can be diluted by acquaintance with local specialties, and impressions received during a busy day perfectly fit into the memory, being backed up by a glass of other local drink, in the production of which the peoples show no less ingenuity than in cooking.

On the part of gastronomic pleasures a little what country would be so desired for a gourmet tourist like France. A great variety of delicacies, a virtuoso mixture of ingredients and, of course, great wines - all this makes France a direction where you should definitely try the local cuisine.

Where to find

Ordinary public catering establishments They are in crowded places - near railway stations and universities, in busy streets and near sights. . In the latter, by the way, they often offer a fixed tour menu - for 10 EUR you can eat a three-course lunch - no frills, but quite satisfying . @ Restaurants often pile up in picturesque places of cities and resorts - on quays, mountain slopes, equipped old ports and so on . However, in the center of the city there are also a lot of them, and those who rely on the domestic tourist, as a rule, could t offer the menu in Russian .

Unexpected with the French customs tourist advise: in cafes and bars usually indicate two prices: the one that is lower - for those who drink the ordered drink at the counter (and will not take place), higher - for those who want to sit at the table.

When that order

In most French restaurants there are two "peak" periods, under which the kitchen hours are adjusted. Dinner is accepted from noon to three, dinner - from seven to eleven. Entering the restaurant in the "change", do not be surprised if you are offered only snacks - usually cold, but if you're lucky, hot ones are also possible. You can drink coffee at any time of the day from early morning until late at night, but you can cheer up something cheerful only in the afternoon - starting at about 4 pm.
