Types of menus most menus consist of courses, or parts of the dinner, which are served in a certain order. first small, light dishes (appetizers) are served, then the main part ofthe meal is served and at the end of a meal a dessert is served. there are four basic types of menus: • a la carte menu — a menu having individual dishes listed with separate prices • table d’hote menu — a menu offering a complete meal at a fixed price • carte du jour — menu having dishes that are served on this day only. • cycle menu — menu having different dishes every day a la carte menu a la carte means dishes “according to the card”. this menu allows the customer to choose the number and type of dishes. this menu has a list ofall the dishes, arranged in courses and each dish has its price. the dishes are “cooked to order”, so the guests must wait a little until the dish is ready, and then the dish is served to the guests. table d’hote menu table d’hote means “host’s table”. it usually offers a limited choice of dishes. three or four dishes are offered in each course and the guest pays a fixed price for the whole meal. in “business lunch”, for example, there are only three or four dishes in each course and the guest pays a fixed price for the whole meal. carte du jour carte du jour means “card of the day”. the dishes in this menu are served on this day only. cycle menu a cycle menu is a group of menus, which are repeated in a certain cycle. cycle menus are usually used in hospitals, on airlines and in works canteens. the dishes in the main course are new every day. буду кто сделает правильный перевод текста
