Biographies Characteristics Analysis

Dialogue in a restaurant in English - examples of conversations for various situations.

No matter where in the world we find ourselves, the question of food is always relevant.

Whether it is a meeting with foreign colleagues in a fine restaurant or simply relaxing in a picturesque cafe after a walk around the city, we will somehow have to enter into a dialogue with the service staff.

About English in a restaurant and the most common situations that may arise there, I will tell you in this article.

So, let's begin.

1. How to book a table


The first thing you will likely be asked is if you have booking (reservation[ˌrɛzəˈveɪʃən] / [rezevation]):

good evening! Do you have a reservation?
Good evening! Do you have a reservation?

If you have reserved a table book/[beech], “reserve, book”), this can be reported as follows:

I have a reservation at 9:00 for John Brown.
I have a 9 o'clock reservation in the name of John Brown.

I "ve booked a table for two. My name is John Brown.
I booked a table for two. My name is John Brown.

If you haven't booked in advance, you can start the conversation like this:

Hello. Do you have any free tables?
Hello. Do you have free tables?

2. Menu and order


Waiter (waiter[ˈweɪtə] / [uʻeite]) will approach you with something like this:

What can I get for you?
What to bring for you?

Are you ready to order?
Are you ready to place an order?

ask menu (menu[ˈmɛnjuː] / [m`enyu]) can be done this way:

Could I see the menu, please?
Can I have a menu please?

When it is handed to you, you can hear one of the following expressions. They are difficult to translate literally - in fact, they mean something like " keep», « take, please»:

While you choose dishes, you may be offered the drinks (drinks/[drinks]) to brighten up the wait.

Can I get you a drink?
Would you like some drink?

Would you like to order a drink now?
Would you like to order a drink now?

If you are not yet ready to order and would like to explore the menu better, use one of the following phrases:

I'm sorry, I need some more time.
Sorry, I need some more time.

Can I have a couple more minutes?
Can I have a couple more minutes?

You can also ask the waiter to tell you about this or that platter (dish/[dish]) or recommend (recommend[ˌrɛkəˈmɛnd] / [rekem'end]) you something:

What's this dish?
What is this dish?

What would you recommend?
What would you recommend?

Also in many restaurants there are so-called specials([ˈspɛʃəlz] / [spʻeshelz]) - " dishes days", that is, items on the menu for which a certain discount is valid only today. You can ask the waiter about them:

What is today's special?
What's the dish of the day today?

When you are ready to make your choice, use the following phrases to name your order:

I'll take...
I will take…

I'll have...
I will…

I would like...
I would like to…

Some dishes may be offered aperitif (appetizer[ˈæpɪtaɪzə]/[ʻepitaize]) - light alcohol to stimulate appetite.

Would you like an appetizer?
Would you like an aperitif?

Having brought your order, the waiter will wish you a pleasant reception food (meal/[mil]):

Enjoy your meals!
Bon appetit.
(Literally: enjoy your food).

He or she may also ask if there is anything else you would like, such as dessert (dessert/[display]):

Do you need anything else?
Do you want anything else?

Would you like to order any dessert?
Would you like to order dessert?

3. Possible problems related to the order


However, not always everything goes smoothly: it happens that cutlery was not brought ( fork/[foc] " fork”, spoon/[spoon] " the spoon”), or the dish you liked is over, or something was confused in the order.

I'm sorry, we're out of___.
I'm sorry, but we've run out of ___.

Excuse me, I didn't order this.
Sorry I didn't order this.

Could I have another spoon/fork, please?
Can I ask for another spoon/fork please?

Could you heat this up a bit more, please?
Could you warm it up a little more, please?

As a rule, polite waiters can politely ask how you are doing and whether you liked the dish:

How is everything?
How are you doing?
(Literally: how are things?)

Is everything ok?
Is everything alright?

How is your lunch/dinner?
How is your lunch?

About what's all tasty (delicious/[dil'ishaz]) can be reported as follows:

Everything was delicious, thank you!
Everything was delicious, thank you!

Everything is great!
Everything is great!

4. Payment


Well, it's time to pay! ask check (check[ʧɛk]/[check] or bill/[beat]) can be done using expressions:

Can I have my check/bill?
I would like my check please.

If you're not sure if a restaurant accepts cashless payments, don't be afraid to ask:

Can I pay by credit card?
Can I pay by credit card?

Finally deciding to leave surrender from payment ( change[ʧeɪnʤ] / [ch`range]) as a tip for the waiter, you can report this:

Keep the change.
Leave change.

Unfortunately, it also happens that the bill shows mistake (mistake/[mist`ake])

In the event that you dine in a company, sometimes the question arises of whether someone pays one for all, or is it better divide check (split the bill/[split the beat]). You can ask about it like this:

Shall we split the bill?
Shall we split the bill?

That's all, I hope you found this article helpful! I wish you a pleasant stay and enjoy your meals! :)

To leave in English means to leave a place without saying goodbye.

Waiter: Okay. Here is your bill.
Visitor: Thank you. Service included?
Waiter: Yes. Have a nice day.

Idioms about food

Apple polisher- this is not the profession of an apple polisher, as one might think. So you can call a person a sycophant or a sycophant.
Compare apples to oranges- it is not necessary to literally compare apples and oranges, this phrase is worth using when you compare something under-deliverable.
To go bananas- use this phrase when someone is going crazy with joy or anger.
As easy as pie- if the business you are doing is very easy, then use this phrase - it's as easy as shelling pears.
Cool as a cucumber- so you can call a person who in any situation remains calm and remains absolutely cold-blooded.

It is always a pleasure to sit in a cozy atmosphere with friends, chat nicely and eat delicious dishes, and especially if you can order food in English without any problems. You can also gain additional experience thanks to this video.

We hope that this article will help you feel more confident in any restaurant.
