Great Menu Dico

I just returned from five days in Paris, and took this along in my bag for the menu translations. I speak French, but the culinary terms often elude me, and this little book had every term I looked up. Don't agree with his editorial on Ile Flottant -- I love it!

Undiscovered gems.

What strikes me about this guide (and I buy every new edition) is the author's ability to find new gems. We dined at Le Severo (great beef dishes) in a neighborhood we'd never have gone to except for this book. The next night we visited La Maison (which despite its excellent location near Notre...

Great book!

I bought this book before our trip to Paris, knowing that I wouldn't be able to read a menu. The book had a lot of good tips on dining out, which turned out to be very handy while we were there. Also, it's a small book, so I kept it in my purse the entire time. We were able to look up all of...

Disappointing

I expected more from this book. While it has lists of restaurants, the menu guide is just a glossary of french terms. I admit that I'm spoiled - I expected something similar to a book I used extensively in Japan - "What's What in Japanese Restaurants - A guide to ordering, eating, and enjoying"...

Eating & Drinking in Paris

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!

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...

Essential for a trip to Paris!

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...

Very helpful

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...

This book was handy to have.

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...
