Menu Pricing Explained
A menu where each food item is listed and priced individually is known as an A la carte menu.
Understanding Menu Types
- A la carte: This French term translates to "from the menu". It allows diners to select individual dishes from a list, each with its own price. This offers flexibility in choosing what to eat and how much to spend.
- Table d’ hote: This refers to a meal with a fixed price, where diners choose from a limited number of pre-selected dishes. It's often a set menu with a specific course structure (e.g., appetizer, main, dessert).
- Set menu: Similar to Table d’ hote, a set menu offers a complete meal (usually multiple courses) for a fixed total price.
- Du Jow: This option is not a standard menu term in the context of food pricing.
Therefore, the correct term for a menu where food items are priced separately is A la carte.
