A good place to start
If you usually order a familiar steak, ask about a different cut or a shared starter; not every restaurant offers the same regional dishes.
What to compare
- Cuts and portion weights
- Side dishes and sharing options
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.
