IntroductionIf you have ever ordered from a menu written in another language without being completely sure what you were asking for, then you need this pocket dictionary! We have compiled this book to provide an essential pocket companion for any traveller who likes to know what they are ordering and eating, or who likes to try out new or local dishes. And unlike many other menu readers, the text has translations to and from English, so that you can both translate a menu and ask for a favourite dish or a particular ingredient. We have included 2,000 terms for each language, and our aim has been to cover general menu and restaurant terms as well as names of dishes, ingredients and drinks. At the start of each section there is a section of useful English phrases translated into the other language . These have been selected to help you to find a restaurant, ask for the table that you want, order your meal, pay the bill and, if necessary, complain. We have also included helpful phrases for vegetarians, who traditionally have a difficult time eating out in some parts of Europe. Because it can often be difficult to find out exactly what is in a dish, we have also included phrases to help anyone with a common food allergy or intolerance, for example to gluten or nuts. Finally, as you travel you will doubtless find new local dishes and local names for ingredients in our experience, this is particularly so with local names for different types of fish. If you find interesting new terms that are not in this book, we would love to hear from you; please let us know and we will try to include the terms in future editions. Send any new terms (or comments on local variations of expressions) to: . In the meantime - Bon appetit!, Guten Appetit!, Bon appetito!, Que aproveche!

Useful French PhrasesTypes of restaurantune auberge un bar un bistrot une brasserie un caf un caf-restaurant une caftria un restaurant un restaurant dautoroute un restaurant gastronomique un salon de th hotel-restaurant, usually in the country serves alcoholic drinks caf-restaurant, serves drinks and simple meals caf-restaurant, choice of beer and simple meals serves alcoholic drinks and coffee, some serve ice cream serves alcoholic drinks, serves meals self-service restaurant providing simple meals proper dining room; quality can vary motorway restaurant, often a cafeteria high quality food, though sometimes no choice of menu, often more expensive shop selling cakes with a few tables to have tea or coffee

TippingTipping is relatively straightforward: bills are often stamped s.t.c. (service, taxes, compris) and it means what it says all service and taxes included. The only exception perhaps is to leave the small change in the saucer at a bar (if you are eating at the bar rather than at a table).

MenuMenus are usually split into five sections; shorter menus might have just three sections: entre, plat principal and dessert: potage or hors-doeuvre soup or starter entre first course plat principal main course fromage cheese course dessert dessert
