In French, the most natural translation is: 👉 manger au restaurant or dîner au restaurant. (Colloquially, you can also just say manger dehors if it’s clear you mean a restaurant, not literally outside.) Examples: (Eng) We eat out every Friday night. (Fr) Nous mangeons au restaurant tous les vendredis soirs. (Eng). Let’s eat out tonight, I don’t feel like cooking. (Fr) On va manger au restaurant ce soir, je n’ai pas envie de cuisiner. (Eng). Do you usually eat out when you travel? (Fr). Tu manges souvent au restaurant quand tu voyages ? ⚠️ Important: in French, “manger dehors” can also mean literally eating outdoors (like on a terrace or picnic), so manger au restaurant is the clearest way to translate “eat out.”
