Best Answer

Normally in a four course (restaurant service) meal appetizers are served first followed by soup or salad, the main entree, then a dessert.

In a seven course meal the traditional order of service is:

1 appetizer

2 soup

3 fish

4 palate cleanser

5 main entree

6 cold dish (salad or fine vegetable)

7 dessert

Note: formal meals can contain more than 7 courses and often do, adding in poultry, additional palate cleansers, breads, cheeses, fruits, multiple meats(both hot and cold) and a variety of desserts. As well as cocktails, aperatifs, and dessert wines, and brandies. Though these additions are not always considered courses or are added to courses.

What is serve first appetizer or salad?

Soup first, then salad. An exception would be if the soup was the main entree, then the salad would be served first. Then again, if the salad contains meat like chicken, then it's more like a meal and the soup should come first. Bottom line is there is no real right or wrong way. There are places in Rome where they serve the salad last ... after dinner. Yes, after dinner.
