Eating in a restaurant can be a fun thing to do with friends, but if you
are just learning English some of the new words can be confusing. You’re
coming to a new country, and you want to enjoy something. You want to
have a meal out of your house – dinner, or lunch or breakfast. And you go to
the restaurant and then somebody walks up to you with, “How many people
are in your party?”, “And what would you like for appetizers?”, “Would you
like an app?”, “Would you like this?”, “Did you leave any room for des-
sert?”, “Well, how about your main?”, “What about this?”
So let's have a look at basics of restaurant vocabulary. First thing you
should know – where are you going? There’s “fine dining”, “casual dining”,
and “fast food”. “Fast food” is like McDonald's, Taco Bell, Subway or KFC.
“Casual dining” is like Chili’s, Montana’s, Olive Garden or Cracker Barrel.
Among “fine dining” restaurants are “Nantucket Seafood”, “Space Needle”.
These are restaurants in the United States and Canada.
“Casual dining”, like “fast food” means you can wear something like
jeans or a T-shirt, and it’s okay. No one’s going to complain. And you can
sit down with a knife and fork, and you can have your dinner.
Then you may have “fine dining”. “Fine dining” is when the waiters
wear what is called “penguin suits”. They have a tie and a shirt, and they
walk up, and they serve on tables. “Fine dining” means “expensive”, and you
usually require a reservation to get a table.
So let’s just go with casual, because casual is where most people can
go. If you want to sound polite next time you go Mac Donald’s, don't watch
them and say, “Give me Big Mac. Give me French fries. And that I want.”
Try to say, “May I” or “can I have”. People who work in the service indus-
try – which is what the restaurant industry is, want a little politeness, so try
“can I have” and “may I have”. You'll be surprised at how much better they
serve you or treat you.
One of the first things they might say to you in a restaurant, “party of”
or “table for”. And you’re going to say “What?” Well, “party of” doesn’t
really mean “Fiesta time!” or “Yeah, we’re going to party!” What they mean
is that you are a group of people, and they mean the number of people. So
you can say “There are two of us, or “there are four of us”.
“Table for” means the same thing and they mean “table for four people”, so you can say “table for four”, “table for five” depending on how many
66
people come with you. So, that’s the first thing you will be asked at a restaurant. Then they will bring you to your table. And they’re going to give you
something called a “menu”.
Questions
1. What three categories of restaurants mentioned in the text can
you name?
2. What does “fine dining” mean?
3. What can you say to sound polite to a people serving you?
4. What is one of the first questions they may ask you in a restaurant?

Today we will learn about traditional English breakfast. This article is
made based on the materials of Anna English, the author of the youtube channel “English like a native”.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the Full English
Breakfast is a very important part of the British culture. No full English
breakfast is complete without bacon. So, if you have your meal in a café you
might be asked “How many rashes you would like on your breakfast?” Bacon
is normally cooked in one or two ways – it’s either fried in a frying pan with
a little oil or you can grill it under the grill.
English breakfast also consists of eggs. On a full English breakfast
the egg is typically fried however there are many other options to choose
from. You could go for a boiled egg, which is where the egg in its shell is
boiling in hot water until the insides are firm. If you opt for a soft-boiled egg
then it’ll mean the yolk, the golden section, is still loose, but if you opt for a
hard-boiled egg you boil it for a little longer until the inside is firm but that’s
no good for dunking.
Alternatively you could opt for a pouched egg. It’s quite difficult be-
cause you remove the shell but still manage to keep the egg altogether and
you cook it like a boiled egg just without the shell.
Or you can opt for scrambled egg. Scrambled egg is where you mix
the egg with milk. You stir it all together and you put it into a hot pan and
then you keep stirring until it starts to cook and becomes lumpy and fluffy
and delicious.
Next up British people have sausages. Pork sausages which can be
cooked in the frying pan under the grill or in the oven even although Anna
thinks it takes longer.
Then they have something called black pudding. Despite the name this
isn’t sweet this is a savoury cut of what looks like a sausage but it’s made of
congealed pig’s blood. You would cook this in the frying pan for around six
to eight minutes.
You’ll also find in the plate fried mushrooms and grilled tomatoes.
A firm favourite with many are the baked beans. One of the biggest brands in
the UK is Heinz baked beans. Now this is a sweet little addition to the breakfast
plate. This obviously can be cooked in a pan or warmed in the microwave. And
to finish it off you’d have a couple of slices of toast, these are referred to as
68
rounds of toast. And the toast of course is normally made in the toaster but if
you don’t have a toaster then it could be toasted under the grill.
Oh, before you start eating there’s just one more thing that will complete
the breakfast and that’s a cup of English tea. It’s a great way to start the day!
Exercise 2. Tell your partner what you traditionally eat in the morning. Do you have a full English breakfast or you do anything different?

Exercise 1. Memorize the dialogue that will help you to order food in
a U.S. or any English-speaking countries restaurants.

Charlie: Well, there are two of us.
Waiter: Ok. I’ll be right back. I’ll bring the menu.
Sandra: Thank you!
Waiter: Are you ready to order?
Sandra: Can I have a few more minutes? I'm not ready to order.
Waiter: Would you like anything to drink?
Sandra: Could I have some water, please?
Waiter: Bottled water or tap?
Sandra: Bottled, please.
Charlie: I’ll have an iced tea. Do you have unsweetened iced tea?
Waiter: Yes, we do. I’ll be right back with your drinks.
(The waiter comes back with the drinks)
Sandra: I’m ready to order. I’d like the soup of the day to start and
then roast chicken, please.
69
Waiter: OK. Would you like any salad or vegetables?
Sandra: Yes, please. I’d like mushroom salad.
Waiter: Would you like any dressing with your salad?
Sandra: Yes, please.
Waiter: OK. And for you, sir?
Charlie: I’d like basil soup and then fish with rice and peas.
Waiter: Would you like the fish grilled or fried?
