 Eating & Drinking in Paris July 27, 2004
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
What a great book. You never have to wait in horror to find out whether you ordered sheeps tongue instead of steak. This book takes the mystery out of ordering at a French restaurant. A necessary addition for any traveler to Paris
Incredibly helpful! June 3, 2004
I used this small book (easy to carry everywhere) on a recent trip to Paris. I found it incredibly helpful in trying to decipher menus, and when we sat near other Americans they clearly were jealous of this handy guide.In addition to menu translations, this book also contains useful tips about dining out in Paris.
Essential for a trip to Paris! April 18, 2004

This little book - the size is perfect for a purse - was indispensible in Paris. I don't speak French but this guide book let us be confident about what we were ordering without hesitation. It was often borrowed by people at other tables who were having a difficult time. Loved the little "handwritten" notations in the margins.

We just took this book with us in November 2003 on our vaction in France: Paris, Loire Valley, and Normandy. We only used the Menu guide portion (which is the majority of the book), not the restaurant recommendations. I had this book out at every meal, and it saved us MANY times from making ordering mistakes. For tips on dining in France, I also highly recommend reading "Savoir-Flair: 211 Tips for Enjoying France and the French." Our trip would have not gone so well without either of these books!
 This book was handy to have. September 11, 2003

I would not call this book a must have for traveling to Paris but it was a handy reference guide to find out what something was on a menu. It did save me from at least one mistake in ordering something I would not have wanted to eat! On the other hand, I felt that it was a little high-brow in that the least expensive restaurants were listed as below $25 and, call me cheap, but that is not necessarily budget dining for my family. We found that drinks were often the most expensive part of our meal and this book does not touch on that at all. I used Rick Steves' Paris 2003 book much more often than I used this one. Get both if you can afford it.
