Best Answer

'un menu [à prix fixe]' (the "à prix fixe" is implied and almost never expressed aloud)

- 'à la carte' means that you pick every item up in the list and combine them. Add the price of each item to calculate your bill.

- 'au menu, prendre un menu, manger un menu' means that you're picking the fixed menu, with a set price.

In many restaurants you can change one item (say, the dessert) and still get the reduced price that goes with the 'menu'

un menu (à prix fixe)

more and more restaurants offer a menu - entrée et plat or plat et dessert (ie not three courses) for the same price (of course the apéritif, wine and coffee are not included)

What is TDH menu?

"TDH" means "table d'hôte", which is a type of bed and breakfast that also provides a dinner service, and sometimes lunch too, in that case frequently opened to external customers, not just guests. There is usually one or a very limited choice of courses.The English term is used in English restaurants or special events to mean a fixed cost menu, also with a very limited choice of courses, maybe two per course."TDH menu" is never used in French restaurants. It's just a normal menu, as opposed to the à la carte menu where you select your own courses. Such acronyms and TLAs (three letter acronyms) are rather unnatural to French people.The plat du jour is yet a different thing, meaning main course of the day, but sometimes extended to the entrée and dessert as well, making it similar to a TDH menu.


What is a set meal?

In a restaurant, a set menu is a term used to mean a fixed menu. This means that the customer or diner either has no choice, or very limited choice of menu. For example, at a banquet where a fixed menu is served, every guest might receive the same meal of salad, roast chicken, potatoes and vegetable, and bread with chocolate mousse for dessert. Individual guests usually do not have the option of getting strawberry ice cream instead of the chocolate mousse, for example. (Although, in cases where the customer is allergic to a food or a vegetarian, some substitutions may be made.) In a restaurant, a fixed menu means that the customer purchases a dinner with a menu that's pre-determined by the restaurant, usually at a slightly lower price. For example, if you are ordering off the regular menu, you might have a choice between lobster, steak or grilled fish, at prices from $15 to $40. Usually, appetizers and desserts are additional, when ordering off the menu. The fixed menu might be soup, turkey with dressing, vegetables and pumpkin pie, with a glass of wine, all for $19.95.
