Cultural Tip
In France, dinner (le dîner) is usually served later than in many Anglophone countries, often around 8 pm, and it tends to be lighter than lunch. Emphasising ‘saine’ (healthy) reflects the growing French interest in fresh, seasonal produce and balanced meals. If you’re speaking to a Quebecois audience, you might swap *dîner* for *souper* to sound more natural.
