"The dish of the day" /
"daily special" = what the restaurant is featuring.
"What's the dish of the day?"
"It's the chef's omelette."
"set menu" = a menu where the
starter, main course and dessert are chosen by the restaurant.
"a la carte" = where you choose
what you want to eat from the menu.
"What is 'fisherman's pie'
exactly?"
"Is this dish vegetarian?"
"What's in spaghetti vongole?"
"Does this dish come with any vegetables?"
"Can you tell me how this dish is prepared?"
"It's a meat dish, garnished with parsley."
A garnish is something that is served with the food, not mixed in.
"It's topped with cheese."
Topped is something that goes on top of the food.
"It's served with a side salad."
Side salad is salad served in a bowl or separate plate.
Sauces can be 'cheesy' (made
with cheese), 'savoury' (not sweet), 'creamy'
(smooth), 'spicy' (made with chilli peppers) or 'delicate'
(a subtle, rather than strong taste).
Desserts can be 'rich' (very
filling with a strong taste, like chocolate gateau), 'light'
(not heavy in taste or texture, like a sorbet), 'tangy'
(with a sharp taste of lemon or orange, like a lemon pie), or 'fruity'
(made with fruit, like trifle).
"Are you ready to order yet?"
"Have you decided what you are having?"
"Would you like anything to drink with your meal?"
"Can I recommend the chef's special?"
"We'd like a little longer, please."
"Could you give us a couple more minutes?"
"We really can't decide. Can you advise us?"
