Mais Je Rêve! ;-) by Krystynn
OK, OK, this is definitely going to be my final-final-final tips. Learn them well, memorize them and your French waiter might even think he's serving a local. Mais je rêve? Try it.(1) At the dinner table, hands are placed on the table when you are NOT eating.
(2) Bread should be broken, not cut. It is placed on the table, not the plate.
(3) Place your knife and fork side by side across your plate when the meal is over.
(4) Mineral water is frequently served at a meal.
(5) Cheese is served at the end of the meal. Put the cheese on your plate and not directly onto the bread.
(6) To request for the bill, make a writing gesture in the air. And not hiss or whistle.
