Menu
In a restaurant, a menu is a list of food and beverage items available for customers to order. Menus may be presented à la carte, in which individual dishes are listed separately and priced individually, or as table d'hôte, where a fixed sequence of courses is offered for a set price.
Menus can be displayed in several formats. They are commonly printed on paper and provided to diners at the table, but may also appear on display boards inside the establishment, outside the restaurant to attract passersby, or on digital screens. Since the late 1990s, many restaurants have also made their menus available online.
