Useful, too, is to understand when you are asked, “Avec ce-ci?” …”Anything else?” (literally, “with that?”) Then you either add to your order, or if done, reply “C’est tout, merci.” –“That’s all, thank you.”

You wouldn’t really say “je prends” which is not “I’ll take” but literally “I take” .
It would be more correct to say “je prendrais…” or even better “je vais prendre” 🙂

Bonne dégustation

Helpful guide, merci bien.

Je prends, not je prend, is the correct spelling. Je prends, tu prends, il/elle/on prend, etc.

It’s also fine just to say “Une baguette, s’il vous plaît.”

This is a super guide – photos are perfect and the pronunciation guide very helpful.
Merci!

Just a note… tarte au fraises should be written tarte aux fraises (with an x)

In reply to Kiki. You'll get a nice bit of healthy strawberries with the tarte au fraises. :-)
