Concierge Table Notes →The Codes of Parisian Dining Etiquette
Observing these simple cultural nuances will instantly elevate your hospitality experience.
1. Always Say "Bonjour"
Entering any bakery, shop, or bistro without greeting the host with a sincere "Bonjour, Madame" or "Bonjour, Monsieur" is considered a breach of respect.
2. Water & Bread are Free
Order a "carafe d'eau" for clean tap water and enjoy complimentary fresh baguette, which is traditionally laid directly on the tablecloth rather than a side plate.
3. Asking for The Check
French waitstaff will never drop the bill at your table unprompted; doing so implies you are being rushed. Simply make polite eye contact and say "L'addition, s'il vous plaît".
