Significado
To make a reservation at a restaurant.
Contexto cultural
In France, if you reserve a table for 8:00 PM, the table is usually yours for the whole night. There is no pressure to leave quickly. In Montreal, 'réserver' is common, but you might also hear 'booker' (an anglicism) in very informal settings. Similar to France, but in popular 'estaminets', reservations are highly recommended as they are often small and crowded.
Be Specific
Always mention the number of people immediately: 'Une table pour [X]'.
No-Shows
In France, it's very rude not to show up. Always call to cancel if your plans change.
