Meals and Restaurants in France

No matter where you live in the world, you can bet that at some time or another you have heard about the meals that are served in France.
Hotel breakfasts tend to be light, consisting of tartines (pieces of bread with butter or jam) or the famous croissants and pains au chocolat, not dissimilar to a chocolate filled croissant (but square rather than crescent shaped).
Restaurants usually start serving the lunch at noon and accept patrons until 13:30.
Dinner begins at around 19:30 and patrons are accepted until 21:30.
Restaurants with longer service hours are usually found only in the larger cities and in the downtown area.
Finding a restaurant open on Saturday and especially Sunday can be a challenge unless you stay close to the tourist areas.
The cuisine in France is something that the French are well known for. They can take a meal and make it fulfill your taste buds dreams.
A Meal in France has its own agenda. France serves each course to tease the palate. You start your meal in France with the Hors D’oeuvres, and then you move into the fish course. Next you will embark into the salad course before you finish the meal off with your dessert. Coffee is always served as a final step (though it may be followed by liquors). A request for coffee during the meal will be considered strange.
