Questions about a dinner menu
How many courses should a dinner menu have?
Three is common: starter, main and dessert. Six, like this example, suits a long, formal dinner.
Should I offer a set dinner price?
It helps guests who want an easy choice. Give it its own section with the price per person and the courses.
Should course names be in French?
Only if your guests know them. Otherwise use plain names, like Soup and Fish, or add them in the section note.
