Say this to the waiter (French)
La Sole Meunière très légèrement farinée, sans pommes de terre. Puis-je avoir plus de légumes verts ?
Sole Meunière very lightly floured, please, and no potatoes. I'd like extra green vegetables.
Watch out for
Potato sides. While traditionally 'meunière' implies a light dusting of flour, ensure it's minimal or omitted entirely upon request. Some restaurants might use more flour.
