Generally, lunchtime is from 12:30 or 13:00 and can last until 15:00. Dinners are usually from
20:30 to 23:00. Some restaurants close between lunch and dinner service so you have to phone in advance
and confirm their opening times and reserve a table. Most restaurants will have reservations and a waiting
list, so it is important to reserve a table; if you are looking for last minute bookings, consider a brasserie or
a hotel where reservations are not as important. The person who extends the invitation for a meal is also
expected to pay for all.
