Table d'hôte

Okay kiddo, have you ever gone to a restaurant with your family and someone picked the food for everyone? That's kind of what a table d'hôte is. It's also called a set menu or prix fixe menu. It means that instead of choosing each dish you want, you just choose one price and the restaurant picks a bunch of dishes for you to eat.

It's like going to a party where your mom says, "everyone gets a juice box, a sandwich, and a cookie!" Instead of choosing your own food, you just get what everyone else is getting. The dishes in a table d'hôte menu usually change depending on the season or what the chef has in the kitchen. So you might eat different things each time you go.

Sometimes a table d'hôte menu includes different courses, like an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. It's a good way to try new foods and trust the chef to make something tasty. Plus, it can be a little cheaper than ordering everything separately.
