Reviews and tips by US travel writer Julie
Mautner.
RESTAURANT TIPS
»Save money by ordering
une carafe d'eau
(a jug of tap water, free).
»
'S'il vous plaît'
- never
garçon
(boy) - is the
only
way to summon a waiter.
»In summer, always book to guarantee a table outside.
DOS & DON'TS
»Take flowers, Champagne or good quality chocolates if invited to someone's house.
»Never discuss money over dinner.
»Don't support Paris-St Germain (PSG), OM's arch enemy.
TASTING ETIQUETTE
»It's OK to spit wine at a tasting: a spittoon or sink is generally available.
»Although tastings are generally free and without obligation, it is polite to buy a bottle if
you've tasted a few wines.
