Looking for the most unique French food for Christmas? Have some venison. In France, it’s a tradition to have some venison (deer, boar, partridge) during the end of the year celebrations. But this meat may seem strong in taste, which is why it is often replaced by poultry.

If you’re not a meat lover, you can have lobster for Christmas. Obviously, you might not be as full as with some turkey or ham, but since Christmas dinners are very heavy, it’s a blessing in disguise. Enjoy your lobster and all the sides!

Looking for a side dish that everybody will love? The gratin dauphinois (or potatoes à la dauphinoise) is pretty simple to cook. You just need thinly sliced potatoes, milk, butter and garlic. In the original recipe, there isn’t any cheese. But we have to admit, it’s even better with cheese on top, like a gratin.
