50 Essential French Sentences for Restaurants Repeat After Me 🇹🇩


Listen Later

Welcome to a new episode of “Repeat After Me” by Nos Parcours, where learning French becomes simple, fun, and truly practical! 🌿✹
In today’s episode, we’ll explore 50 essential French sentences you can use in any restaurant — whether you’re sitting in a cozy cafĂ© in MontrĂ©al, a sunny terrace in Nice, or a small bistro in Paris.

Eating out is one of the best parts of travelling or living in a French-speaking country, but it can also feel intimidating when you don’t know how to order, ask for a table, or tell the waiter what you’d like. This episode is here to change that.

đŸ—ŁïžÂ How it works:
Each sentence is spoken first in English, then in French, and repeated twice so that you can listen carefully, repeat confidently, and improve your pronunciation and rhythm. These sentences are clear, natural, and exactly what native speakers use every day in real situations.

From saying “Une table pour deux, s’il vous plaüt” to “L’addition, s’il vous plaüt”, you’ll master how to:

  • Ask for a table or make a reservation

  • Order food and drinks naturally

  • Describe your preferences and allergies

  • Ask questions politely

  • Compliment the meal or service

  • Handle common moments like asking for the bill or ordering dessert

You’ll also learn the subtle phrases that make you sound polite, friendly, and confident — like “Est-ce qu’on peut s’asseoir Ă  cĂŽtĂ© de la fenĂȘtre ?” (Can we sit by the window?) or “C’était dĂ©licieux !” (It was delicious!).

🎯 Who is this episode for?
This lesson is perfect for:

  • Beginners who want to start speaking French right away

  • Travellers preparing for a trip to France or Canada

  • French learners who want to feel comfortable in everyday conversations

  • Anyone who wants to sound more natural when speaking

💡 Tip: Listen to this episode at least three times — once to understand, once to repeat, and once to reinforce your memory. Repetition is the key to progress!
As you repeat out loud, your pronunciation will become smoother, your confidence will grow, and these sentences will start coming to you automatically — like second nature.

✹ Examples you’ll hear today:

  • Is there a table available? → Vous avez une table de libre ?

  • Can I have it without onions, please? → Puis-je l’avoir sans oignons, s’il vous plaĂźt ?

  • Still or sparkling water? → Plate ou gazeuse ?

  • The food was delicious! → La nourriture Ă©tait dĂ©licieuse !

  • Have a nice evening! → Passez une bonne soirĂ©e !

These short, simple dialogues are the building blocks of real communication. Each phrase helps you sound more fluent and confident — not just memorizing words, but living the language.

🌾 Why this matters:
Learning French isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. When you can order your food, smile, and say a few words naturally, you’re not just learning a language; you’re opening doors to experiences, cultures, and people.

🎧 So, get comfortable, take a deep breath, and repeat after me!
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to handle any restaurant situation with ease and charm — from ordering your favourite dish to asking for dessert with confidence.
