What to compare
- Regional focus
- Sharing dishes and accompaniments
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.
