Napkins can be opened before meals. After ordering, open the napkin before the appetizer is delivered, fold it in by one third, and let two thirds spread flat on the legs to cover the legs above the knees. It's best not to stuff napkins into the neckline.

The cup is placed on the right front of the plate, decreasing from left to right from big to small. Generally, there are at least two goblets on the dining table, one for water and the other for wine. There are also slender wine glasses for drinking champagne or sparkling wine. When changing wine to drink, you also need to change cups.

2. If you don't know how to drink, you don't have to drink every time. Just smile and be humble and polite.

Taboo of French food

1, don't wipe your mouth with your hands after eating, and don't wipe it vigorously with a napkin. Just use a corner of the napkin to gently wipe off the oil stains on your mouth or fingers. The more elegant the better.

2. Don't be lazy in your seat, you should always be upright, don't lean on the back of the chair, and don't climb on the table.

3, the posture of the arm should not be greatly opened. The most annoying thing is that the two upper arms are propped up to interfere with the people next door. The two upper arms should be close to the body, and the body can lean forward slightly when eating.

4. Don't mess with knives and forks. Don't think that several pairs of knives and forks in front of you can be used at will. In fact, they have a strict order, starting with the outermost tableware, from outside to inside.

5. Don't misplace the used knives and forks. After eating each dish, put the knives and forks around or cross them. It is very impolite. Knives and forks should be placed side by side on the plate, with the tines facing up.
