If not, then why does "Je sors au restaurant" imply that the destination is the restaurant? Since both sentences have the same structure "sortir à"
Does "Je sors à Londres" imply that the destination is London?

Does "Je sors à Londres" imply that the destination is London?
This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing "to leave" with partir/laisser/quitter/sortir in French"
Asked 3 years ago
Sortir -- to go out.
Je sors au restaurant. -- I'm going out to the restaurant.
You can't say, "I go out to London". If you want to say that you're going to London, you'd use something like, "Je pars à Londres" or "Je vais à Londres".
