1. Dining etiquette in the restaurant:

(1) Seat reservation: Seats must be reserved in advance, indicating the number of people, time and location requirements (smoking or non-smoking area).

(2) Seating: Seating is usually led by the waiter, who will even pull the chair for the lady. The most appropriate way to sit is to sit on the left side of the chair.

(3) aperitif: the waiter will ask you if you want an aperitif before handing over the menu.

(4) Order: The menu of French cuisine is very simple. The order of ordering is: the first course is usually cold dish or soup. Although there are many kinds of "first courses" on the menu for you to choose from, you can only choose one. A loaf of bread will be served before serving. After eating, the waiter will help you remove the plate and then serve the second course. The second course is soup or cold dishes. The third course is the main course in a meal, which is the most important dish in French cuisine. It is often done delicately and fastidiously, which makes diners unforgettable.

(5) Order wine: After ordering, you might as well have a glass of the restaurant's signature wine.

(6) dessert: a cheese (accompanied by raisins or red wine) is usually served before dessert. Generally, you don't drink coffee until you finish dessert, and you don't drink coffee while eating.

2. Etiquette for family gathering:

(1) When you arrive at the banquet place, the host will guide you to sit in a specific place. Don't wander around. There are many rooms that guests should not enter.

(2) It is impolite to leave the banquet during the meal, so it is better to go to the bathroom before the banquet.

(3) When the host guides you (and other guests) to another room (usually a dining room), the elderly should go through the door first, and the men should be polite to the ladies.

(4) Don't sit down immediately in the dining room. Seats are usually arranged in advance. You can't sit down until you find your own seat card or wait for the guidance of the host.
