5.0 out of 5 stars Great Paris restaurants!, June 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Eating and Drinking in France: French Menu Reader and Restaurant Guide (What Kind of Food Am I? Series) (Paperback)

I recently returned from Paris and this small pocket guide was a great help. I ate at a small restaurant in the Marais section of Paris listed in this book and had the best meal of my life. The menu reader part of this book was really helpful for someone with limited knowledge of French. The illustrations and comments are informative and very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars English speakers in France, REJOICE!, November 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Eating and Drinking in France: French Menu Reader and Restaurant Guide (What Kind of Food Am I? Series) (Paperback)

I've used this book on two trips to France (May and November of 2000) and I think the book is incredible!

I'm at the advanced level in French, however the menus at the restaurants in France still always confounded me until I bought this book. I would say that 80% to 90% of the food items on any menu are listed in the book. Other French guide books or dictionaries do not have anywhere near the number of entries that this book contains. I've used the book at a number of restaurants in France with great success. Also, the book is so small that you can easily fit it into a small bag (or purse), so it is very easy to carry it and use it in any restaurant. You don't have to be afraid to order the Andouillette any more!

I purchased this for an upcoming visit to France and think it will be very useful, esp. for someone who has limited French and loves food. I tested it out using menu information from my French Michelin guide. It does not list everything, but it contains a lot of terms and descriptions.
