Questions about a French restaurant menu
Should I offer a set lunch?
Many French restaurants do: two or three courses at one price. Put it at the top with the choices for each course.
What's the difference between an entrée and a plat?
In France the entrée is the starter and the plat is the main. In the US, entrée means the main, so add "Starters".
Should a brasserie menu be long?
Brasseries often have long menus. Clear sections, like starters, seafood, mains and desserts, keep it easy to read.
