Let's not forget all the wonderful pastries like pain au chocolat (called chocolatines in the south), chausson aux pommes, une religeuse, etc.

Or desserts my favorite is iles flottantes (floating islands), and creme brulee of course is well known.

I don't think anyone has mentioned "les moules frites" (muscles and fries) which are really popular

Anyone in France should also try some of the good Algerian and Morrocon dishes like a good couscous and a kebab =)

I completely agree with mebonnet. Also "steak-frites" (steak-and-french fries, which I love), croissants, pastries, all french breads

French cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity. French cuisine is considered to be one of the world's most refined and elegant styles of cooking, and is renowned for both its classical ("haute cuisine") and provincial styles. Many of the world's greatest chefs, such as Taillevent, La Varenne, CarГЄme, Escoffier, or Bocuse were masters of French cuisine. Additionally, French cooking techniques have been a major influence on virtually all Western cuisines, and almost all culinary schools use French cuisine as the basis for all other forms of Western cooking.

Quick food
The following dishes can generally be ordered in brasseries:

Steak frites (steak with fries; fries can often be replaced by haricots verts вЂ” string beans);
Poulet frites (chicken with fries)
Croque monsieur (a grilled Swiss cheese sandwich with a slice of ham)
Generally speaking, frites (French fries) are a common side order for lower-end French-style restaurants. The French generally believe that fries are of Belgian origin, although there is no evidence for this origin; a typically Belgian dish is steamed mussels with a side of fries.

A typical simple, cheap, quick meal consists of pasta (often spaghetti) with tomato sauce.
