Appetizers, also known as starters, are typically small dishes served before the main course. They

light and refreshing options to more indulgent or flavorful choices. Common types of appetizers
include:

• Soups and salads: Examples include tomato soup, Caesar salad, or mixed greens
with vinaigrette.

• Small bites and finger foods: These can include items like spring rolls, or chicken
wings.

• Cheese and charcuterie boards: A selection of cheeses, cured meats, fruits, nuts,
and bread or crackers.

• Seafood or vegetable-based starters: This can include shrimp cocktail or vegetable


fritters.
Main Courses: Main courses are the heart of a meal and typically feature larger portions compared
to appetizers. They are usually more substantial and often consist of a protein source, such as meat,
fish, poultry, or vegetarian options, accompanied by various side dishes. Main courses can be
diverse and reflect the restaurant's culinary style. Examples of main courses include:

• Meat-based dishes: This can include steak, roasted chicken, pork chops, or lamb stew.

• Seafood dishes: Such as grilled salmon, shrimp scampi, or seafood paella.

• Vegetarian or vegan options: These can include plant-based burgers, stir-fried vegetables, or
vegan lasagna.

• Pasta or noodle dishes: Examples include spaghetti Bolognese, fettuccine Alfredo, or pad Thai.

• Specialties or signature dishes: These can be unique creations of the chef, showcasing the
restaurant's distinct flavors and style.
Desserts: Desserts are sweet treats served at the end of a meal to satisfy the palate and provide a
delightful conclusion. They can range from light and fruity options to rich and decadent indulgences.
Desserts can include:

• Cakes and pies: Examples include chocolate cake, apple pie, or cheesecake.

• Puddings and custards: bread pudding, or chocolate mousse.

• Ice creams and sorbets: A variety of flavors served in bowls, cones, or alongside other dessert
components.

• Fruit-based desserts: These can include fruit tarts, fruit salad, or grilled pineapple with caramel
sauce.

• Specialty desserts: Unique creations such as molten lava cake, tiramisu, or a chef's signature
dessert.
