Hello, my name is Matty from POC English.

And in this lesson, we're going to go to the restaurant.

And we're going to see how to speak English in a restaurant.

Part 1.

Before going to the restaurant.

first let's learn some words and phrases that you may need to learn and use

when you are planning to have a meal outside the first

one is a phrasal verb to eat out it's very obvious right

if you eat out it means you eat outside your house you go to a restaurant but instead of eat

If you say dine, to dine out, what does it mean?

To have lunch or dinner outside?

To have dinner outside.

To go to a restaurant to have dinner.

Let's dine out tonight, shall we?

Now, if you want to eat out or dine out,

before going to the restaurant,

you want to make sure that they have a table available for you.

Let's say you are two people,

you want to dine out,

but you are not sure they have a table ready for you

so what you need to do is to call the restaurant

and what should you do you should book a table

or you should make a reservation book a table

or make a reservation that means to call the restaurant to let them know

that you want to go there tonight for dinner

or today for lunch and that

if they have a table available for you hi i'd like

to book a table for two for tonight at around 8

pm let me check uh yes we have a table available for you now

when you go to a restaurant the restaurant may be very expensive it may also be reasonably priced

reasonably priced does it mean it's cheap no it's not cheap

the prices are reasonable it means you can accept the price

huh it sounds fair well that's a steak 20 for

that steak 300 grams of steak 20 that's fair this is reasonably priced for example i checked the menu of that restaurant

and it is reasonably priced now at the restaurant there are some people who are working those people are called

the staff now if the staff are paying attention to the customers they are answering to their needs

and they are being very careful with everything those staff are

attentive attentive staff it means staff who really care about customers

the next word to learn is cuisine cuisine now a lot

or the second syllable cuisine

or cuisine cuisine it's on the second syllable repeat after me cuisine now what does it What does it mean?

Cuisine is a specific type of food for a country or a place.

Now, what is local cuisine?

Local cuisine is the specific type of food you can find

in a particular area for example in the city i live right now

which is milan in italy local cuisine is risotto milanese it's a very tasty dish made with risotto

which is rice and saffron which is a kind of herb

and you have to try this local cuisine

when you come to italy now there is a type of food which is generally categorized as continental food.

What is it?

Continental food is European food.

Food made in Europe.

Food cooked and prepared in Europe.

That is continental food.

For example, Italian food, Spanish food,

French food, German food, Portuguese food.

These are continental food.

But we also have another category which is oriental food.

Oriental food are southeast Asian food.

So oriental, continental, which one do you prefer?

I really like oriental food.

How about you?

And another type of food is vegetarian food or even vegan food.

Now vegetarian food is a type of food that does not include any meat.

Vegan food on the other hand is any food

that doesn't include any meat or any other product coming from animals including eggs or milk.

Okay, enough learning for now.

Let's see how to use what we have learned in a dialogue.

Guys, would you like to dine out this weekend?

Great idea.

I'm free on Saturday.

How about you, John?

I'll try my best to come.

Nice.

Do you know somewhere to go?

There is this new place two streets away from here.

I checked the menu and it's reasonably priced.

And what types of food do they have?

Mainly local cuisine.

I don't know.

I'm a vegetarian, you know.

Yes, and they have a vegetarian menu too.

Do they have continental food too?

I think yes.

I'm not sure though.

Sounds great.

I'm down.

But it's so crowded at the weekend.

We should make a reservation right now.

119

Now let's get back to our lesson.

120

Part two.

121

At the restaurant.

122

Now when you are at the restaurant,

123

the first thing you need is the menu.

124

So menu, as you know, is a list with the names of all the dishes,

125

all the meals that that restaurant has to offer.

126

Nowadays, many restaurants do not offer a menu on paper,

127

but rather they have a QR code on the table.

128

You have to scan it with your phone to see the menu.

129

And that is good, I think.

130

You don't use paper.

131

Now, next to the menu,

132

some restaurants have another menu,

133

which is the drinks menu.

134

That is the list of all the drinks they have to offer.

135

Different wines, different sodas, soft drinks,

136

alcoholic drinks, the entire list of drinks.

137

Now, sometimes on the menu you may see one section titled today's special or maybe specials.

138

What is that?

139

That is the dish or the meal that the chef has prepared specifically for today.

140

Tomorrow you won't find that on the menu.

141

It's only for today.

142

That is today's special.

143

Now each meal at the restaurant may have three different steps.

144

The first one is the starter which is a very light meal

145

so as to work up an appetite ah good phrase work

146

up an appetite what does it mean appetite is the desire to eat

147

if you work up an appetite it means you are doing something to your body

148

that your body feels more and more hungry

149

so basically you are preparing your stomach for the real meal

150

which is after the starter

151

and is called the main course main course is the main dish the biggest dish you're going to eat after

152

that you may want to order dessert

153

which is something sweet at the end of the meal now

154

when you order your meal you may want to choose some side dishes.

155

Side dishes?

156

What are those?

157

Well, maybe some yogurt, some olives,

158

something to eat, some pickles,

159

something to eat next to your food.

160

They just put it beside your food.

161

It's not part of your main meal.

162

So you can order side dishes or if you're having salad or something that requires some sauce,

163

you can order dressing.

164

Dressing.

165

Dressing is not, no, no, no, it's not dressing.

166

Dressing is basically sauce added to salad.

167

Now at the end of the menu

168

or at the bottom of each page of the menu you may see this word allergen.

169

Allergen.

170

But what does it mean?

171

Well allergen or plural allergens are the materials,

172

the substances in the food that may cause an allergic reaction.

173

So for example if you are allergic to tomatoes you may want to check the allergens to see

174

if tomatoes are in the meal you're going to order.

175

Or if you're allergic to peanuts,

176

you may find peanuts in the allergens.

177

And finally, a very useful phrase.

178

Imagine you and your friend are at the restaurant and your friend decides to have pizza.

179

And then you think that, huh, pizza sounds good.

180

I want the same.

181

What can you say?

182

A pizza for me too.

183

That's okay.

184

but you can also say huh make it two make it two it means i want the exact same

185

that he ordered if you are the third person you can say uh yeah make

186

that three make it two make it three

187

that means me too i want the exact same

188

that these guys are having all right enough let's see how

189

to use these in a dialogue i booked a table for

190

two for 7 p.m under the name of thomas shelby of course Please come this way.

191

After sitting.

192

Sorry, could we have the menu please? Of course.

193

Just scan the QR code.

194

A few minutes later.

195

Can I take your order sir?

196

What would you like for main course?

197

Yes, a margarita pizza please.

198

Excellent choice.

199

And you sir?

200

Mmm, yeah, make it two.

201

Uh-huh, two margarita pizzas.

202

Anything for a starter?

203

Maybe seasoned salad?

204

And I'll have the fried snails.

205

Okay.

206

Anything to drink?

207

How about a bottle of water? of water.

208

Yes, a bottle of sparkling water.

209

Great.

210

I'll be right back with your order.

211

Now, as you are having your meal,

212

you may have some needs or requests.

213

Who should you call?

214

You should call the waiter now you can call the waiter

215

or the waitress

216

but you can use a very nice phrasal verb flag down to flag down the waiter

217

or to flag down the waitress means to wave at them get their attention

218

and then they will come to you this is to flag down a waiter waitress excuse me sir ma'am

219

that is flagging down it means calling them to come to

220

you another one is round of drinks round of drinks what does it mean well

221

if you are out with more than three friends three four five six seven eight

222

if you want to order drinks you may say we need another round of drinks.

223

Now, a round of drinks means drinks for everybody.

224

It's not just for me.

225

If I want a drink,

226

I would say, I need another Coca-Cola.

227

But, but, if everyone at the table wants the same drink,

228

you would say, sorry, another round of drinks here.

229

It means everyone at this table would like another drink,

230

a round of drinks.

231

And the waiter

232

or the waitress may say right away right away right away

233

what does it mean no it means immediately without hesitation right

234

236

down the waiter yes sir can we get another round of drinks Right away sir,

237

when your meal is finished and you want to leave the restaurant,

238

you have to pay the bill.

239

An informal phrase, instead of pay the bill,

240

you can also say foot the bill.

241

Yes, foot.

242

To foot the bill means to pay the bill, but that's informal.

243

If you're out with your friends,

244

you may want to foot the bill.

245

It means to pay it.

246

Now, where do you pay the bill?

247

First of all, you need to ask for the bill or the check.

248

can we have the check please you can use this sign as well sorry can I have the check please

249

or can I have the bill please they will bring it to you at your table you can see

250

if you want you can discuss you can divide you can split the cost and

251

that is splitting the cost the the act of I pay

252

for my share you pay for your share you pay for

253

254

255

256

273

that you may come across when you are at a restaurant

274

or when you're planning to go to a restaurant or when you're paying for the bill.

275

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
