You would not ordinarily capitalize any letter of hors d'oeuvres. But for a menu heading (which is not required to be grammatical), either the capital H alone, or capital H and O, could be proper.

∙ 12y agoHors d'oeuvres is the US plural, and hors d'oeuvre the singular.
The way to remember that is:
1. Both parts have an "s" at the end if it is plural. If it is not plural, only the "hors" has an "s" at the end.
2. There's an apostrophe after the first letter in the second word
3. The second word starts out as "DOE", then you add the "UV" and the rest is "RES."
