Are you sure it was a restaurant? Be funny to know what word you used for Menu.
When my then mrs went with some pals one year to Spain on the bikes she was in a restaurant and I’d blagged myself up saying I was good abroad and spoke a bit of French, Spanish etc (French yes, Spanish, nope) She asked for advice ordering some snap and told her in a text to ask for….(and the Spanish escapes me) of which she was dead chuffed and dutifully toddled off to impress her mates with her new found Spanish lingo from her other half.Well, when the restaurant gasped and all looked at her when she uttered this to the waiter apparently, was astonishing. She thought she was asking fur whatever but actually she told the waiter ‘he had a really nice arse and that she could suck the chrome off a tow bar’I was in a hit of trouble but it was funny at the time.Learnt my lesson? nah, I’d do it again in a heartbeatSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ironically just sitting in the sunshine in Normandy at the moment.These tales remind me of my efforts when I was in the Dordogne in my late teens. Sitting outside in a bar and we were talking to a local character. For too long it would appear when his wife flung the window open and shouted him home. I said " votre femme est ne pas tres jolie" - thinking I was saying she was not very happy. In reality I had told him his wife was not pretty. Oh how we laughed when we realised....!

I honestly can't work it out Ted, it's the same word (isn't it ? ) and pronounced "mey noo" I thought. En Famille laugh at my efforts, but won't have a go themselves
Sat-in Finnish? Sounds like a sauna!
