The common perception or stereotype about French restaurants or anything labeled "French" is that it suggests something stylish, sophisticated, or elegant.
From cultural stereotypes and common associations with France:
- French culture is often linked with elegance and chic style.
- French cuisine and dining experiences are seen as refined and fashionable.
Therefore, the two best answers are:
- B. elegant
- E. chic
These two words best capture the common perception that an eatery with "French" in its name suggests something stylish and sophisticated rather than simple or modest. This contrasts with the neighborhood French Bistro being typically unpretentious.
Hence, the answer is $B$ and $E$.
