How To Order Breakfast in French


The French are famous for their cuisine, and indeed they invented the word! For breakfast, they prefer to keep it short and sweet. After all, they don’t call it “le petit déjeuner” for nothing (the little breakfast).

A typical breakfast in France is a croissant (buttery rolls of flaky pastry) and/or a tartine (French bread sliced lengthwise, with butter and jam), some fruit or juice, and café au lait (coffee with milk, also called café crème).
