This^ is a hideous situation to be in for starters. Whatever "mate" suggested that should have his/her arse branded with a flaming lockring. Sorry to hear that the inevitable vile evening was confirmed.
Tiswas, not sure your three word summary of French cuisine is quite on the money. I agree there's a lot of hot air spoken, but if you steer clear of the obvious (kebab places, all-you-can eat chinese buffet) it is much rarer to get a shit meal - not just there but in my experience Italy too. Many cafes and bistros might share a common repertoire, but I'd take a warm quiche lorraine and green salad over a sharing platter of deep fried shit any day.
Like TheLeek says, our lowest denominator is happy to lay back and go lower than most other places.
