This is a wonderful article about how to order in a restaurant, what German dishes and drinks are called in Russian, and what German restaurants offer.

Even on vacation, you need to eat regularly, at least three times a day:

First, you need to decide whether you want to have a quick snack or get acquainted with German cuisine. For those who are short on time, Turkish bistros or takeaway pizza are convenient. Germany has a large number of Chinese, Indian, Greek and Italian restaurants (Restaurant). Gaststätte is the best place to get acquainted with traditional German cuisine.

It's just an old German word for a modern restaurant. Kneipe is a place where you can meet friends over a beer in the evenings.

Without a doubt, the most German place to eat is the Biergarten. Those who have read the chapter on word formation will easily divide the word into two parts: Bier (beer) and Garten (garden). This tradition originated in Bavaria and later spread throughout Germany. Biergarten is an open-air place dear to the heart of any Bavarian, where there are simple wooden tables and benches where you can bring your food and drink a glass of fresh beer. The unit of measurement for beer is the liter mug (Maß). Biergarten is self-service

(Selbstbedienung). Visitors must take their dirty dishes to where it says Geschirrrückgabe (return of dishes).

Typically, the menu of this establishment includes several types of salad and 3-4 main hot dishes. You don’t even need to know the names of the salads. You can take them yourself from the counter, but you have to ask for a hot dish.

Warme Gerichte (hot dishes):

Spare Ribs	pork ribs in spicy sauce
Chicken Wings	Urine wings in BBQ sauce
ein halbes Grillhähnchen	half a grilled chicken
eine game Schweinshaxe	whole leg of pork
Rollbraten mit Soße	pork roll with sauce
Schweinswürstel	pork sausages
Bratwurst mit Semmel	fried sausage with bun
Pommes frites	french fries

Some dishes can be received as a large (große Portion) or as a small portion (kleine Portion). It is strictly forbidden to bring drinks with you. Ominous signs warn about this:

Das Mitbringen und Konsumieren eigener Getränke ist strengstens verboten.

(It is strictly prohibited to bring or consume your own drinks.)

Be prepared for the fact that in Germany some restaurants and many cafes have days off:

RUHETAG AN SONN- UND FEIERTAGEN - Weekends - Sunday and holidays

Many restaurants post menus outside. If you want to have lunch quickly and inexpensively, then choose places that offer Mittagsbuffet (lunch buffet) or Tages-menü (daily menu). In the first case, a buffet is offered during lunch hours - an unlimited amount of food for a fixed amount of money. In the second case, you can significantly save time and money. In both cases, drinks are not included in the price.

Do not necessarily strive to get to those places that are indicated in the guidebooks. They are good for groups making reservations. Single diners may be deeply upset that waiters simply ignore them.

In most restaurants there is no need to reserve a table in advance.

Speech situations:

Just ask the waiter at the entrance:

Haben Sie noch Platze frei? (Do you still have free places?)

The answer will most likely be:

Ja, bitte! (Yes please!)

Bitte sehr, die Speisekarte. (This is the menu.)

After a while the waiter will ask:

Möchten Sie schon bestellen? (Do you want to place an order already?)

The first thing to do in a restaurant is to order drinks.

The waiter will ask about it like this:

Zum Trìnken? (What will you drink?)

Was wollen Sie trinken? (What would you like to drink?)

Several ways to order at a restaurant:

1) Ich nehme ein Glas Sekt. (I'll take a glass of champagne.)
2) Ich hätte gern einen Kaffee. (I would like some coffee.)
3) Für mich ein Helles. (For me, a mug of light beer.)
4) Zwei Weißbier bitte! (Two light wheat beers, please!)
5) Bringen Sie uns bitte eine Flasche Mineralwasser. (Please bring us a bottle of mineral water.)
6) Ich möchte einen kleinen Orangensaft. (I would like a small glass of orange juice.)

When the waiter brings drinks, it is customary to order the main course. If you find it difficult to choose, you can ask the waiter for help:

Was würden Sie uns empfehlen? (What advice would you give us?)
Was ist Ihre Spezialität? (What is your restaurant's signature dish?)

If you are invited to a restaurant and they are going to make an order for you, then you can say about your culinary preferences like this:

Ich esse gern Pizza. (I willingly eat pizza. / I love pizza.)
Der griechische Salat schmeckt mir sehr gut. (I really like Greek salad.)
Meine Lieblingsspeise ist Pilzsuppe. (My favorite dish is mushroom soup.)

Restaurants often have a special drinks card (Getränkekarte) separately from the menu (Speisekarte).

Weine (wine)

You can choose wine by country of origin, by a familiar brand, by color or by taste.

There is a real cult of beer in Germany. The country produces a large number of beers (Bier-sorten).

Some of them are distributed only regionally, others are sold throughout the country. Every beer lover has his own favorite type of beer (Lieblingssorte) and favorite brand (Lieblingsmarke). Almost every city in Germany has its own breweries (Brauerei), producing its own brands of beer. Beer lovers know the difference between draft beer (Fassbier) and bottled beer (Flaschenbier).

Dunkelbier	Dark beer (4.5-6%)
Weißbier/Weizenbier	Light wheat unfiltered beer with fruity spicy taste (5-6%)
Dunkelweizen	Dark wheat beer
Helles	Light beer (4.5-6%)
Berliner Weiße	The beer is dark yellow in color with a slightly sour taste (2.8%)
Kölsch	Light beer with a slightly bitter taste (4.9%)
Altbier	Aged dark beer with hop flavor (4.8%)
Leichtbier	Light beer with reduced carbohydrate and alcohol content (2.5-4.0%)
Malzbier	Malt beer is very dark, almost black in color, with added sugar, practically non-alcoholic (0.2%)
Starkbier/Bockbier	Strong beer (6-10%)
Export (Exportbier)	Light or dark beer (5%)
Pils (Pils(e)nerBier)	Light dry beer of golden color with a strong hop aroma (4.2-4.8%)
Schwarzbier	Very dark (black) beer (4.8-5%)
Alkoholfries Bier	Non-alcoholic beer (0.02% -0.5%)

Biermischgetränke (beer-based drinks)

Spirituosen (strong alcoholic drinks)

Alkoholfreie Getränke (soft drinks)

Mineralwasser	Natural mineral water
Tafelwasser	Mineral water
Lemonade	Lemonade
Apfelsaft	Apple juice
Orangesaft	Orange juice
Traubensaft	Grape juice
Johannisbeersaft	Currant juice
Eistee	Chilled sweetened tea with flavors of lemon, peach, etc.
Apfel(saft)schorle	A drink made half of apple juice and half of mineral water.

In Germany, over the years, a special culture of eating in German restaurants has developed; knowing these features and phrases in German, you will feel confident anywhere.

TIP: Before going to a restaurant for lunch, make sure to make a reservation.

It’s not that it’s necessary - it’s just that you’ll be sure that when you come to the place you like, which you, say, read about on the Internet, and there’s nowhere to be found, there will be a table waiting for you. It’s not necessary once at a time, and sometimes in a restaurant you may actually find that all the tables are occupied - they were simply booked in advance.

Kann ich einen Tisch reservieren, bitte?— Can I reserve a table?
Haben Sie Platz für zwei/drei/vier?— Will you have a table for two/three/four?
Wir sind zu zweit/dritt/viert.— There are two/three/four of us. (When talking about the number of people, this form is used.)
Ich möchte einen Tisch am Montag um 18 Uhr für 4 Personen reservieren.- I would like to reserve a table for 4 people on Monday at 18.00.

Similar dialogues are possible in this situation:

- Guten Tag! Haben Sie einen Tisch reserviert?- Good afternoon! Have you booked a table?
- Guten Tag! Ja, ich habe einen Tisch auf den Namen Paul bestellt.- Good afternoon! Yes, I booked a table under the last name Paul.
- Das stimmt, Ihr Tisch ist Nummer 2. Folgen Sie mir bitte, ich zeige Ihnen den Tisch.- That's right, your table number is 2. Please follow me, I will show you the table.

Or:
- Guten Tag! Ein Tisch für zwei Personen bitte. - Good afternoon! Table for two, please.
- Guten Tag! Sie können Platz in der Eicke nehmen.- Good afternoon! You can take a seat in the corner.
- Könnten wir den Tisch am Fenster haben?- Could we sit at the tables by the window?
- Ein Moment. Ja, die Reservierung wurde storniert. Nehmen Sie bitte Platz, hier ist die Karte.- Give me a sec. Yes, the reservation was cancelled. Take a seat, here's the menu.
- Danke!- Thank you!

When you arrive at a restaurant, do not wait to be asked to sit down: the wait may take a long time, and you may not even be greeted in a trivial way. If you come to an expensive place, you may see a sign there asking you to wait until you are taken to a table (“Sie werden platziert”). However, this is rare. Mostly in Germany, guests choose where to sit. In most restaurants, and especially in biergartens, the tables are long and wide, which means that if, for example, the two of you occupy a table for four or even six, other guests may join you. Or you yourself can sit next to someone, having first asked if the place is free and if you can sit down:

Entschuldigen Sie, ist dieser Platz frei?- Excuse me, is this place busy?
Entschuldigen Sie, ist dieser Tisch frei?- Excuse me, is this table busy?
Entschuldigen Sie, könnten wir uns hier setzen?- Excuse me, can we sit here?
Entschuldigen Sie, darf ich hier Platz nehmen?- Excuse me, can I take this place?
Hier ist leider schon besetz, aber dort sind drei Plätze noch frei.- Unfortunately, this place is already occupied, but there are still three free places.
Darf ich mich hier hinsetzen?-Can I sit here?

To be served, you need to make eye contact with the waiter. Waving your arms and noisily calling for his attention is not worth it: in Germany such an attitude is considered very rude. We ask the waiter this question.

Darf ich bitte die Karte sehen?- I'd like to see the menu?
Könnte ich bitte die Weinliste sehen?- May I see a wine list?

When we receive the treasured booklet, we study it.
die Speisekarte- menu as a list of dishes that can be ordered separately
das Menu— set lunch
das Hauptgericht- second course
die Beilage- side dish
die Vorspeise- snack
der Nachtisch- dessert
das Frühstück- breakfast
das Mittagessen- dinner
das Abendessen- dinner
vegetarian- for vegetarians
laktosefrei- lactose-free
die heißen/alkoholfreien/alkooholischen Getränke- hot/soft/alcoholic drinks
die Spezialitäten- branded people
zum mitnehmen- to-go, to-go

After a while the waiter will ask:
Was wünschen Sie?- What would you like?
Haben Sie schon gewählt?-Have you already chosen?
Möchten Sie schon bestellen?-Are you ready to place an order? In order not to hit the mark and at the same time win over the restaurant waiters, and perhaps also impress your German-speaking interlocutor, you can ask what they would recommend to you.
Was können Sie empfehlen?- What do you recommend?
Was kannst du empfehlen?- What do you recommend?

You may be offered a snack.
Möchten Sie eine Vorspeise?— Would you like to order a snack?
Was für die Beilage empfehlen Sie?- What side dish can you recommend?

TIP: Don't skip the appetizer called "rollmops" - pickled herring rolled into rolls and served with onions or gherkins.

You can also try beer cheese, which is called Bierkäse. We have already written about German cuisine in the article

If you don't eat meat, ask if there is anything vegetarian on the menu.
Haben Sie vegetarische Gerichte?— Do you have vegetarian dishes?
Ist in diesem Gericht Fleisch?- Is there meat in this dish?
Ist das vegetarisch?- Is it vegetarian?
Haben Sie auch etwas Veganes auf der Speisekarte?- Do you have something for vegans?

If you are ready to order, say the following.
Ich möchte jetzt bestellen.- I'd like to order.
Ich möchte/hätte gerne…- I would like…
Ich nehme…- To me…

Also, order your drinks right away. Keep in mind that in Germany it is not customary to bring a carafe of chilled water as an aperitif, as in some other countries, and if you ask for tap water, it will also be seen as a kind of disrespect. Moreover, alcoholic drinks in Germany are cheaper than regular water, even the one without gas, so many people prefer wine.

Ich möchte gerne etwas trinken.— I want to order drinks.
Was für Bier haben Sie?— What beer do you have?
Könnte ich eine Tasse Kaffee haben?— A cup of coffee, please.
Eine Flasche Mineralwasser bitte- A bottle of mineral water, please
Ich hätte gerne eine Cola- I would like a cola
Welchen Wein könnten Sie mir empfehlen?- What wine could you recommend to me?

When the time comes for a full meal, you will have to be patient, since in many German restaurants everything is prepared very slowly, and waiters do not approach visitors who have placed an order very often. For many Germans, lunch lasts three hours. It is worth considering that in Germany, as a rule, they do not serve an “a la carte” menu, the price of which includes bread and butter. Each dish is paid separately, as is the bread basket.

Cutlery is always on the tables before guests sit down. In Germany they are used very actively and even pizza is eaten with a fork and knife. Also, the Germans do not resort to a simplified method of eating food, when, as is sometimes done, the fork is transferred from the left hand to the right, the knife that was just used to cut something is removed, and the person continues to use only the fork.

If you want to repeat what is called, just say the following.
Noch eins, bitte.- Repeat, please.
Das schmeckt so gut! Ich möchte es nochmal bestellen- It's so delicious! I would like to repeat.
Ich möchte noch einen Teller bestellen- I would like to order another plate.
Könnte ich bitte noch ein eins haben?-Can I repeat it?

So, lunch/dinner is over, and the waiter asks you:
Hat es Ihnen geschmeckt?— Did you like everything?
Es hat sehr gut geschmeckt!- It was delicious!
Es war einfach super, ich bin so satt- It was just great, I'm very full
Möchten Sie noch etwas?- Would you like anything else?
Sonst noch etwas?- Anything else?

If we don't plan to continue, please ask for an invoice. It would be a good idea to check in advance whether it is possible to pay using Visa or MasterCard.
Die Rechnung, bitte.- The check, please.
Ich möchte bezahlen.- I want to pay.
Bitte zahlen- Calculate, please
Ich bezahle mit Karte- I will pay by card
Ich zahle in bar- I pay in cash
Akzeptieren Sie Visa?- Do you accept Visa?
Akzeptieren Sie MasterCard?— Do you accept MasterCard cards?

Do you want the whole company to be counted together? Ask like this.
Alles zusammen, bitte.- Count everyone together, please.
Alles kommt auf meine Rechnung- I pay for everything

If you want them separately, then like this.
Wir möchten getrennt zahlen.— We want to pay separately.

The answer might be:
Das macht zusammen 45 Euro- Only 45 Euro

In Germany, it is customary to tip (das Trinkgeld), usually 10-15 percent. If the amount is small, it is best to simply round it to the nearest whole number. If you pay by card, simply add the tip to the check amount and state the full amount when the waiter debits the money from your card. If you want to leave change from cash to the waiter, just say the standard phrase:
Es stimmt so.- Keep the change for yourself.

If you want to leave a tip of 5 Euros, giving, for example, a hundred to the account of 45, you can say:
Machen Sie 50- Take 50.

Also in Germany it is not customary to leave a tip on the table, make sure your waiter takes it before you leave.

By the way, having studied all these rules, you will feel comfortable not only in restaurants in Germany, but also in other countries where German is spoken.
