A good place to start
Compare a realistic order including drinks, sides and any service or delivery charges.
What to compare
- Portion size
- Included items and complete bill
Make one part of the meal new
Keep a favourite dish or familiar ingredient, then try something different alongside it. Ask about unfamiliar ingredients, sharing portions and dietary needs. Menu examples are starting points for a conversation; check what the restaurant actually serves.
Something else to discover
Bistro restaurants
Bistros and brasseries are dining formats rather than guarantees of one particular menu.
Cafeteria restaurants
Cafeteria and canteen dining usually centres on practical, straightforward meal service.
