Do you have à French restaurant where you live ?

In the UK Indian and Italian are the staple types of food, with Chinese next. There are much fewer French restaurants here, at least where I live. I think they are perceived as classier (if that's the right word) and therefore more expensive. And is there such a things as French Takeaway?

I enjoy French bread, cheeses, pastries, the simpler French foods. Eclairs and profiteroles are to die for 😀

I'm all about the French booze.

Do they fries count?

But seriously... when I partook in the meat I liked steak tartare, foie gras, bouillabaisse, coq au vin;
Like crepes and escargot. Chocolate souffle and creme brulee.

Give me champagne or give me death! That's how the saying goes right? 😉

More seriously, so much delicious food. I love croissants.
And ratatouille (hold the rat!)


I don't eat meat-stuffs anymore, but past favorites were boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin, quiche lorraine, and gougeres (?) those cheese puffy things. I could never get into the Steak Tartare, but it was a staple in my home because literally everyone in my family loves it.

There's a wonderful French restaurant two blocks from my house in suburban Washington, D.C. I am very lucky. Everything they serve is good, but my weak spot is charcuterie and fromage.

I love French food; it might even be my favorite. Steak tartar, croque madam, coquilles saint-jacques (scallops), piperade, bouillabaisse, all the sauces are so rich and delicious, the cheese, bread, and pastries....I could go on forever.

There are several pretty good French restaurants where I live, so luckily I can get good French food whenever I want. I ate at Joël Robuchon a month or so ago when I was in Vegas and it was excellent.

"Yes, I love French Food.
Baguette. Lol. Seriously - my favorite French Food is fruit de mer or seafood.
I live in a rather large city in Germany and there is just one French Restaurant and it is very expensive. I have been there about twentyfive years ago, but I hope, I can afford to go again sometime soon. 🙂"

Those are not my answers, they are my husbands. He is francophil. I have no idea, what French Food is 🙂

Where I live if a restaurant has a French name it's usually veeeeerrrrryyyyy expensive! 😀 They're way too classy to do takeaway food!

I'm a big fan of french bread and pastries. Choux pastry is literally get-in-my-mouth wherever I find it. Never been a massive fan of champagne though - the bubbles just give me wind. 😛

It's funny to me what is considered French food to others, that stuff is basically just regular food to me (even if I'm Canadian, we kept many French dish in our culture). But it's all very yummy indeed! I don't get why French restaurants are so expensive, a lot of the French food is very simple.

The most exotic French food I had was in North Bay, Ontario (which is about half French and about 40 km from the Quebec border) and it was ostrich in raisin sauce. Strange to see red meat from a bird but it was something you should have at least once in your life.

Do you remember the name of the place? That sounds interesting. I might wanna try it out next time I"m there.

French food is foreign to me. I skip over the words cos I duno what they mean haha. Is that racist? There are a few french restaurants around but they do all seem far more fancy than I can be bothered for. I dont know if it is just here that eating out is outrageously expensive.

Anyway without the fancy titles I have eaten crepes, scallops, duck cooked in french ways. The stews and soups dont thrill me - I prefer indian too. I didnt even know quiche lorraine was french, quiche of all types is popular here. What are some french desserts?

I really should learn how to make escargots. I have soooo many snails here... maybe the bobtail will like it. Its a good question as to why french dining is so expensive, I'd almost PAY PEOPLE to eat my snails. The chooks are doing a terrible job.

This was about 18 years ago so things may have changed, but it was in the dining room of a hotel on the west side of Highway 11 near the south end of town, so it could have been the Ramada (or the Holiday Inn or the Travelodge) but my memory has faded. Ostrich is quite gamey in taste and the raisin sauce is a perfect complement. Dining there was quite high end, so bring money. Most of North Bay is bilingual so either French or English can be used in most places.

This was on the return leg of a trip via the Polar Bear Express (train) from Cochrane to Moosonee where we tried another delicacy where you get off the train: moose burgers. Our reaction (wife and me) was been there, done that, don't have any desire to eat a moose burger again. Moosonee and Moose Factory are interesting places to visit and the train trip there shows a forest where the tallest tree is about 12 feet tall. You get the feeling you are approaching the end of the tree line and the beginning of the tundra.

It is hard to beat French cuisine - the food at a food court in a mall in Montreal can beat food at the best restaurants in Toronto. There are differences (some of which are enforced by law) in food preparation where, for example, blanching the skin off a chicken is done at a lower temperature for a longer time in Quebec.
