Without further ado, here are some classic French dishes you should definitely try, along with recipes for each dish that you can try for yourself.
Ratatouille

Ratatouille is an interesting stew cooked with onions, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and many other vegetables, bursting with bright colors and delicious flavors. A perfectly cooked ratatouille brings out the best in all ingredients. Despite the variety, the food itself is delicious and satisfying to anyone who eats it.
Cock au vin

"Coq" means rooster in French and "vin" means wine, so you might know what "coq au vin" is! Chicken is stewed with wine and ingredients such as bacon, garlic and mushrooms. The key to this dish is seasoning and slow simmering. The tender meat in the flavorful roux makes coq au vin a French favorite.
Raclette

Raclette is a type of cheese consumed in France and Switzerland and is known for its melting properties. Once the cheese is heated, it can be easily spread over side dishes such as ham, salami, potatoes, vegetables and pickles. Raclette is now often served on small tabletop grills so that groups can sit and cook while they eat.
