A good place to start
Confirm whether the venue is open to the public and how the counter or ordering system works.
What to compare
- Public access
- Serving hours and meal components
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.
