(Accidentally created a fork; adding my comment here):
The thing is that it can also be a noun if you say 今日はフレンチにしよう。Let's have French food today. It's basically a shortening 
of 
フランス料理. So it might be worth adding "French food" as a separate definition, although I believe this is only done on a regular 
basis for フレンチ、イタリアン、スパニッシュ and メキシカン. You don't say "今日はコリアンにしよう。" If it's not one of these four, 
country+料理 is more common.

  Comments:
The n-grams confirm that noun usage is almost entirely restricted to food. I think we should have a "French food" sense, as in meikyo.
