French Phrase
C'est vraiment bon !
Meaning
This exclamation means “It’s really good!” and is used to express strong approval, usually about food, drink, or any pleasant experience. The adverb "vraiment" adds emphasis, turning a simple "c'est bon" into a more enthusiastic statement.
When to use
Use it right after tasting something you like, when you want to compliment a dish, a beverage, or even a non‑culinary experience that feels satisfying. It works in informal conversations among friends, family, or even with a server in a casual setting.

✕Common Mistakes
C'est bon vraiment.
The adverb must precede the adjective, not follow it.
C'est très bon.
"Très" cannot modify "bon" in this construction; use "vraiment" or "très" before the adjective without "c'est".
C'est vraiment bien.
"Bien" means "well" and changes the nuance; use "bon" for taste.

Cultural Tip
In French, "c'est bon" is a common, neutral way to praise food. Adding "vraiment" shows genuine enthusiasm, but avoid over‑using it with strangers as it can sound overly familiar. In formal settings, you might opt for "c'est excellent" or "c'est savoureux" instead.
