You don't even have to read the menus to get decent food. I've done very
well simply ordering the plat du jour (basically, "today's special" or plate
of the day) almost everywhere I go. Sometimes you can't for your life figure
out what it is, but it's nearly always very good. If I wanted something
predictable, I'd go to McDonalds. But that's not why I go to France!
