French term or phrase: Parfait glacé au marc de Champagne et sa tuile à la fraise
Now here is a dessert... I can imagine what it may represent...but as this is a 4 star restaurant, my imagination may not be well appreciated at this point...any ideas.

Parfait glacé is fine but after that...??? Being a part time freelance translator doesn't permit me often to go to these type of restaurants. Thanks for any input...

You don\'t really need biscuit. Most people have heard of \'tuile\' and know what it is, especially if they eat in 4-star restaurants:-)

Marc de Champagne parfait OR water-ice with strawberry thin

Explanation:
IMO
No need for 'iced'
parafit is acceptable, or call it water-ice (more or less the same thing, usually!)
a type of biscuit like a 'tuile' in English is often called a 'thin', even though a strawberry one sounds a little bit odd

-- you could try 'dainty strawberry biscuit'

Try regarding visits to such restaurants as ESSENTIAL RESEARCH (and thus tax-deductibel!) :-)

I must admit, for this grade of restaurant, I personally would prefer not to translate, given the 'added value' cachet of a French menu, even in an English restaurant

agree Sheila Hardie: I agree about the research and that it seems a shame to translate - these names sound so much more 'chic' en français:-)

  -> Thanks, SJH --- great gourmands think alike!

agree Susana Galilea: you get my agree on account of the tax-related bit of advice :-)
29 mins
  -> Thanks, Susana --- miam, miam!

agree R. A. Stegemann: The English is so much more down to "earth".
2 hrs
  -> Thanks, Hamo! Yes, I'm all in favour of debunking French culinary snobbery by giving helpful descriptions, but I still prefer the appetizing wording on a menu in French!
