CLASSES OF MENUS
• Menus may be divided into two main
classes, traditionally called table d’hôte
(table of the host) and à la carte (from the
card).
Table d’hôte Menu
• The menu has a fixed number of courses
• There is a limited choice within each course
• The selling price is fixed
• The food is usually available at a set time.
À la carte Menu
• The choice is generally more extensive
• Each dish is priced separately
• There may be longer waiting times as some
dishes are cooked or finished to order.
Differences between them
Table D’Hote
• Food is kept in fully
prepared form and can be
served immediately
• Menu is collectively priced
and the customer has to pay
for the full menu whether
he consumes a certain dish
or not.
• There is limited or no
choice. The menu is
comparatively small.
A’ La Carte
• Food is kept in a semi-
prepared form and takes
time to serve.
• Food items are individually
served and guests pay for
what they order.
• There is a vast choice. The
menu is elaborate
