EATING

The escargots were plump, fresh and juicy. Fun eat! I would love to have this dish again.

Restaurants in Paris are required to display their menus outside. It is a great practice, isn't it? You know what they serve and the prices before you walk in. No anxiety over the bill!

There are usually 4 types of restaurant in Paris

Brasserie

A brasserie serves more formal dishes with wine and beer. It offers the same menu all day.
