  1. French 1 On va au café Eating in Paris!

  2. Players • Le serveur • La serveuse

  3. Players • Maître d’(hôtel) • The person that seats you

  4. Seating – Prendre une place • When you enter a typical Parisian restaurant you are met at the door by the maitre d' who will escort you to your private and comfortable table. That is, if you're the Pope. The rest of us have to wait at the door and try to figure out if it's "seat yourself" or "wait to be seated". • If you seat yourself when you're not supposed to, you'll anger your server. He'll move you to a table that's so close to the restroom that people will use your tablecloth to dry their hands -- if you're lucky. On the other hand, if you wait for a server to seat you and it's "seat yourself", he'll gesture angrily at the empty tables implying "What, none of these were good enough for you, cretin?!"

  5. The Truth • At most cafés in France, you just seat yourself, especially if it is « sur la terrasse » or « au bar ». • If you wish to be seated inside (à l’intérieur) then just ask someone for a table. • In fine restaurants, a maître d’ will seat you.

  6. Les Deux Magots

  7. Le café de la paix

  8. Le café de la mairie

  9. Le Café Saint-Séverin

  10. Culture Note: • Eating on the terrasse is preferred so that you can get fresh air, and people watch. Also, most cafés are not climatisés (air-conditioned). It is more expensive though. • Pets are allowed in most restaurants in France. It is not uncommon to be seated next to a poodle (un caniche).

  13. Culture Note: • Le pourboire (a tip) is almost always included in the price of your meal. • Check the menu, it should say: « Le service est compris ». If it is you are covered. • If not, you can ask: « Est-ce que le service est compris »? Just be sure to check the menu beforehand to avoid an embarrassing moment.
