导读：西餐礼仪主要分为欧洲大陆式礼仪和美式礼仪。两者大体相同，但也存在一些小小的区别。
Julie is a French lady. She was brought up in a family where the table was set formally everyday， and they ate with fine china and real silver. This is what Julie says of her french table manners.
At home， the table is set， and they dine using utensils from outside in. On holidays， the dinners are more formal.
No elbows on the table， no tired looking， no chewing with the mouth open and definitely no eating with any noise.
She puts the napkin on her lap only when everyone is seated. She starts eating only when the owner of the house says “Bon apetit！”， which means “Enjoy your meal！”
There should be no phones or laptops at the table. You should not even answer them or look at them. They should be turned off or put into silent.
When you’re done with the meal， you should not fold your arms and lean back. One should never half fold their arm by placing one arm on the table either. It looks lazy and gives a bored look especially to the host who puts in much effort to prepare the meal.
Salty food should always be served before the sweet food. Sweet food should always be served last. In many cases， it is the highlight.
Julie says she cannot understand someone ending a meal with a salty food. Like chips or cheese for example. She even hates it and gets angry if someone offers it to her. This is different from the American style.
If you go to a cafe， you can order just whatever you want. You don’t have to get the full courses or follow the orders. It’s fine to have coffee before your main course. You have to remember that it only works if you are going to a cafe！
If you go to a fancy restaurant， it is considered rude if you only order one dish. It is expected that you will order the whole course. Going to the restaurant is viewed as an experience， not just to eat. The authentic French restaurants are designed to perfection with not just the food， but right down to the environment， utensils etc. You are expected to want to sit there for a long time. So restaurants are not meant for a quick and fast dinner. They usually don’t come cheap， so the French go when they have prepared to pay.
If you think it’s too hard for you to remember all the manners， just follow two rules. Use the utensils from outside in and follow the person sitting in front of you！
Vocabulary
utensil n. 器具
elbow n. 手肘
napkin n. 餐巾
cafe n. 小餐馆
fancy adj. 豪华的
authentic adj. 正宗的
