French Cuisine Lives Up to Its Reputation!

Spent the weekend in Paris and tried two French bistros—here's the scoop: 🍽️ Bistrot Victoires Arrived at 3 PM and waited just a few minutes. Sat down, checked Google reviews, and saw many Chinese diners complaining about rude service. Uh-oh. What we ordered (€40 total): 🐌 Escargots (tasted like tender snails—similar to vibes) 🦆 Duck Confit (crispy skin, juicy meat—chef’s kiss) 🥩 Steak (solid, no complaints) 🍺 Beer (because why not) Verdict: Despite the bad reviews, zero discrimination felt. The place was packed with locals and tourists alike. Pro tip: If service is slow, just flag someone down—don’t overthink it! 🍽️ La Fresque Planned to eat at the hyped bistro next door, but the line was insane. Ended up here instead. What we ordered (€64 total): 🦑 Grilled Squid (starter) — THE STAR 🔥 🍗 Duck Breast (main) — decent but forgettable 🐟 Salmon (main) — huge portion, just okay 🌰 Chestnut Cake (dessert) — meh Verdict: Paris > London for food (cheaper and tastier, minus Michelin). French cuisine suits the Chinese palate surprisingly well! No need to over-plan—just pick a 4.0+ Google Maps spot and roll with it. #FrenchFood #ParisEats #NoRegrets
