“#Eating like Brits? French curfew puts early dinner on menu<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n They\u2019ll have to swallow their pride along with their dinner.<\/p>\n

An enterprising French restaurateur is allowing customers to circumvent Paris\u2019 newly imposed coronavirus curfew by adopting a decidedly taboo custom \u2014 eating as early as the English.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe said to ourselves we have two options: close in the evenings and turn off the lights, or do something positive,\u201d said Pascal Mousset, whose restaurant, Chez Fran\u00e7oise, is a favorite among local lawmakers.<\/p>\n

In accordance, he\u2019s offering a lavish \u201cAfter Work\u201d special until 8 p.m., an hour before the lockdown takes effect, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the capital and eight other cities, Reuters reported. For about $22, early-bird epicures can enjoy a sumptuous spread of foie gras, boar pat\u00e9 and calamari at a time when Parisian diners would normally be tucking into their starters. The premature prix fixe also includes two glasses of beer or wine \u2014 presumably to rinse away the sting of eating so early.<\/p>\n

Indeed, supping just after sundown might prove difficult in a city where restaurants normally start serving dinner at 8 p.m.<\/a> \u2014 around the time their British counterparts are typically finishing their evening meal.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see if we can get used to the Anglo-Saxon habit of eating out at 7:30 p.m.,\u201d said Denis Alexandre, 53, while lunching with a friend in the 16th arrondissement. In the past, French gourmands have mocked many British culinary customs, from eggs in the morning to devouring baked beans, according to Culture Trip.<\/a> Meanwhile, during a 2005 meeting in Russia, then-French President Jacques Chirac infamously joked that Britain\u2019s only contribution to European agriculture was mad cow disease.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, nocturnal noshers can still sup\u2019 post-curfew, provided they get takeout or delivery. In fact, many restaurants have had to adopt a to-go format to stay afloat during quarantine, which has proved jarring for their employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy barmen have become delivery boys,\u201d said restaurateur Xavier Denamur, who owns five bars and restaurants in Paris. \u201cLogistically, it\u2019s a bit of a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
