There is a Chinese restaurant in France called Le coq gaulois (The
gallic rooster).

There is a restaurant in Québec called Yvan des frites (the owner`s
name being Yvan, one assumes) which sounds in French exactly like "he
sells fries". English speakers should abstain from trying to
pronounce it phonetically as it will ruin the joke for you :-)

An oriental bakery a few streets from where I live is called St-
Honoré.

An Indian restaurant is called Rose`s Café. The former owner was an
Italian woman who named it after her daughter.
