| In a city where Eric Cantona
                     is God, it's surprising that most restaurants offering his
                     national cuisine have tried and failed.  Le Petit Blanc,
                     Aubaine, L'Entrecote, Le Mont, and even Cafe Rouge, have
                     all said their "au revoirs". However Francophones need not cry into their Cognacs,
                       as there is still a good choice of French restaurants
                       in Manchester to keep you content; from family
                       ran bistros serving frogs' legs, escargots and macaroons,
                       to stylish brasseries and cafe bars offering Steak Tartare,
                       Beef Bourguignon and Chateaubriand, as well as fine dining
                       hotel restaurants with their French nouvelle cuisine influences,
                       including the first ever Michelin star winning restaurant
                       in the UK. Bon Appétit! |
