 The seven course French meal
(Le repas Français à sept plats)
• A traditional formal French meal can be a lengthy affair that consists of seven
separate courses. The first course, l’Aperitif, is similar to an appetizer course. It
consists of small bites and a wide choice of alcoholic beverages.

•  The next course is often called l’Entree or Hors-d'oeuvre, this course is often

another heartier appetizer, such as a soup. 

•  Following the above course, you will have the fish and a glass of white wine, which
is often followed by a palate cleanser.  
• The main course is fourth, and traditionally, this course will be a meat or poultry
dish with a side of vegetable.

•  Fifth, you will have a small, simple salad.

• The next course is cheese. All these courses are accompanied by red wines. 

•  Finally, the last course is a dessert. The whole ritual might end with an espresso.
