Bonjour! Ca va? Très bien. Merci. Je voudrais une quiche lorraine, une croissant, et une café chaud. Donc, répétez avec moi.
That's about all I remember after 2 years of college French. But as one shameless Francophile who would drop everything for a trip to Pahree, it ain't faux; it's fo' realz.
If you order as I just demo, you will go no wrong. Never mind that I've yet to work up the chutzpah to actually order them en Français. Between not wanting to waste anytime correcting myself after butchering the accent and embarrassing myself, I just want to order and quietly enjoy the buttery, flaky croissant with a nugget of chocolate surprise in the middle. The light, airy quiche makes you want to propose marriage to the next girl you meet named Lorraine. Bien sûr, a taste of the heavenly balanced, aromatic hot coffee with a hint of nuttiness and the smoothness of velvet makes you want to shout, "Viva La France!"
They also have a great selection of wine. Go for breakfast or brunch. Grab a bottle or 2. 3 if you're thirsty. Trust me. You'll be seeing life through rose-colored glasses. Sing it ,s'il vous plaît: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPp29GcsLNE
