You sit down.

The waiter comes to you and says, are you ready to order?

I remember that feeling when I was learning English.

My heart was going boom, boom, boom!

Just one little tap, it means a lot to us.

Okay, now let's go to the restaurant.

Are you ready?

I'm ready and I'm hungry.

Alice is always hungry.

Let's go.

Okay, Alice, let's imagine we are going to a restaurant together, you and me.

I love it.

What kind of restaurant?

A nice, simple restaurant.

Maybe burgers, pasta, salad, a casual place.

Perfect.

So we walk in through the door and then what?

The first thing that happens, someone greets you.

Maybe a waiter or a host.

They say hello, welcome, and then they ask you something very common.

What do they say?

They say, how many people?

Or sometimes, how many are in your party?

Oh, party.

That's a funny word here.

It doesn't mean a birthday party.

Right.

In a restaurant, party just means your group.

So if it's two people, you and me, you say, two people, please.

Or simply, a table for two, please.

Let's say it together, slowly.

Ready?

A table for two, please.

One more time.

Nice and clear.

A table for two, please.

Beautiful.

Now, what if you are alone?

Good question.

If you are alone, you say, a table for one, please.

Simple, right?

And if you are with four friends?

A table for four, please.

You just change the number.

Easy.

I love it when English is easy.

Me too.

Now, the host or waiter will often say, write this way or follow me, please.

That means, come with me.

I will show you your table.

And you just say, thank you.

Perfect. So simple.

You walk to the table, you sit down, and then what?

You look at the menu.

Yes, but wait.

Sometimes the waiter gives you the menu right away, and sometimes you have to ask for it.

So if they don't give it to you, you can say, Can we have the menu, please?

Say it slowly.

Can we have the menu, please?

Or even shorter, the menu, please, and you can smile and point.

That also works.

Yes, sometimes a smile is the best English.

Okay, so now you have the menu.

100

you are looking at it, maybe you are a little confused, there are many things, many words.

101

Yes, this happens to me.

102

Sometimes I open the menu and I see a word I don't know and I feel nervous.

103

Okay, so what do you do?

104

I ask the waiter and in English you can say, excuse me, what is this?

105

And you point to the item on the menu.

106

Yes, that is so natural.

107

Excuse me, what is this?

108

Or you can say, what is in this dish?

109

That means what ingredients are in this food?

110

What is in this dish?

111

Let's say that one again.

112

What is in this dish?

113

Exactly.

114

Now, another very useful question.

115

If you have a food allergy, for example, you cannot eat nuts or gluten or dairy, you can say, I am allergic to nuts.

116

Does this have nuts?

117

That one is so important.

118

Please remember that one, everyone.

119

It's about your health.

120

I am allergic to.. and then say the food.

121

I am allergic to nuts.

122

I am allergic to gluten.

123

I am allergic to dairy.

124

Okay, so we understand the menu.

125

Now comes the big moment.

126

The order.

127

The waiter comes to the table.

128

He has a notepad.

129

He looks at you and says, are you ready to order?

130

And this is the moment.

131

Boom, boom, boom.

132

Boom, boom, boom.

133

We are ready now.

134

OK, the most important phrase for ordering food.

135

Listen carefully.

136

I would like.

137

I would like.

138

This is polite.

139

This is natural.

140

This is perfect.

141

For example, I would like the burger, please.

142

Or I would like the pasta, please.

143

You can also say, can I have the burger, please?

144

This is also very natural and polite.

145

Let's compare.

146

I would like the burger and can I have the burger?

147

Both are correct.

148

Both are polite.

149

Both are good.

150

I personally love can I have because it sounds very casual and friendly.

151

Yes, and if you are not sure yet, if you need more time, you can say can we have a few more minutes, please?

152

Can we have a few more minutes, please?

153

The waiter will smile and say of course.

154

Nobody will be angry.

155

Don't worry.

156

Take your time.

157

Okay, so let's do a little practice.

158

David, you be the waiter, I'll be the customer.

159

Okay, good evening.

160

Are you ready to order?

161

Yes, I would like the chicken sandwich, please.

162

Excellent choice.

163

And to drink?

164

Can I have a glass of water, please?

165

And maybe an orange juice? Of course.

166

Anything else?

167

No, thank you.

168

That's all for now.

169

Perfect.

170

Did you hear that?

171

Let's break it down.

172

First, I would like the chicken sandwich.

173

Second, can I have a glass of water?

174

Third, that's all for now.

175

That's all for now.

176

This means nothing else right now.

177

Thank you.

178

It's a very useful phrase.

179

Very natural.

180

Say it with me.

181

That's all for now.

182

Beautiful.

183

And don't forget to always say please and thank you.

184

It makes a big difference in English culture.

185

Yes.

186

In English, please and thank you are very important.

187

The waiter will love you.

188

Everyone loves polite people.

189

Okay, now let's talk about something else.

190

Sometimes you want to change something in your order.

191

You want to customize it.

192

Is that okay in a restaurant?

193

Yes.

194

In many English-speaking countries, like the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, it is very normal to make small changes.

195

For example, maybe you don't want onions.

196

You can say, can I have the burger without onions, please?

197

Without onions.

198

Very simple.

199

Or maybe you want extra cheese.

200

You say, can I have extra cheese, please?

201

Extra means more.

202

So extra cheese means more cheese.

203

I always want extra cheese.

204

Of course you do, David.

205

Or maybe you want something on the side.

206

For example, can I have the salad on the side, please?

207

On the side means separate from the main dish, not mixed in, just next to it.

208

These small phrases, without, extra, on the side, are so useful.

209

Let's say them one more time.

210

Without onions, extra cheese, on the side.

211

Perfect.

212

And one more.

213

If you are a vegetarian, someone who doesn't eat meat, you can say, do you have any vegetarian options?

214

Do you have any vegetarian options?

215

This is a great question.

216

The waiter will say yes or no, and maybe explain what they have.

217

Easy.

218

So now the food is here.

219

The waiter brings your food.

220

What do they usually say?

221

They often say, here you go, or enjoy your meal.

222

And you say, thank you.

223

Simple, beautiful.

224

Always thank you!

225

Now, what if there is a problem?

226

What if your food is wrong, or maybe you ordered something and they brought the wrong dish?

227

This happens sometimes, and it's okay.

228

You can politely say, Excuse me, I think there's a mistake.

229

I ordered the chicken, not the fish.

230

I think there is a mistake.

231

This is polite.

232

You're not angry, you're just explaining.

233

The waiter will apologize and fix it.

234

No problem!

235

And what if your food is cold, or maybe not cooked the way you wanted.

236

You can say, excuse me, my food is cold.

237

Can you heat it up please?

238

Or, this is a little undercooked.

239

Can you cook it a bit more?

240

Undercooked means not cooked enough, and overcooked means cooked too much.

241

Exactly.

242

Two new words, undercooked and overcooked.

243

Let's say them slowly.

244

Under cooked, over cooked.

245

Great!

246

Now let's talk about something happy.

247

What if the food is delicious?

248

Oh, yes.

249

If the food is amazing, you can say to the waiter, this is delicious, or this is really good, or I love this.

250

And the waiter will feel so happy.

251

They work hard.

252

They love to hear that.

253

Yes, a little kindness goes a long way.

254

Okay, the main meal is finished.

255

You ate your burger, your pasta, your salad.

256

And then the waiter comes back and asks, Would you like to see the dessert menu?

257

Oh, I love this question.

258

My favorite question at any restaurant.

259

David loves dessert.

260

This is not a surprise.

261

I do!

262

Okay, so if you want dessert, you say, yes please, or sure, why not?

263

That means yes, but in a relaxed, friendly way.

264

And if you are full, if you ate too much, you can say, no thank you, I'm full.

265

I'm full means your stomach is full.

266

You don't want more food.

267

Or maybe you want something small, you can say, just a coffee please, or can I have a small dessert?

268

What do you recommend?

269

Oh, what do you recommend?

270

This This is a great question.

271

It means, what do you think is the best?

272

What is your favorite?

273

The waiter will tell you what is popular, what is good, and then you decide.

274

Let's say that phrase one more time.

275

What do you recommend?

276

What do you recommend?

277

Learn this one.

278

It's useful in restaurants and shops, everywhere.

279

Okay, my friends, the meal is finished.

280

The dessert is gone.

281

It's time to go home.

282

But first, you need to pay.

283

Yes.

284

How do you ask for the bill in English?

285

The most common phrase is, can we have the bill please?

286

In American English, people sometimes say check instead of bill.

287

So can we have the check please?

288

Both are correct.

289

The bill is more British English.

290

The check is more American English.

291

So you can say, can we have the bill please?

292

Or can we have the check please?

293

Or even shorter, the bill please.

294

And you can make a little writing gesture with your hand like you are signing something.

295

Waiters understand immediately.

296

Yes, the international sign for I want to pay.

297

It works everywhere.

298

Now, when the waiter brings the bill, you might hear, how would you like to pay?

299

This means cash or card.

300

And you say, by card, please, or in cash, please.

301

By card, that means credit card or debit card.

302

In cash, that means money, paper money.

303

And sometimes people split the bill.

304

That means each person pays for themselves.

305

Yes.

306

If you want to split, you can say, can we split the bill, please?

307

Or can we pay separately, please?

308

Separately means each person pays their own part.

309

And if one person wants to pay for everyone, maybe it's a birthday dinner.

310

You can say, I'll get this one.

311

Or it's on me.

312

It's on me.

313

This is a very natural, friendly phrase.

314

It means I will pay.

315

Don't worry.

316

Nice.

317

I want someone to

318

that to me one day david one day okay you paid

319

now you are leaving what do you say simple you say to the waiter thank you everything was wonderful

320

or thank you we really enjoyed the meal we enjoyed the

321

meal enjoyed means liked a lot past tense of enjoy

322

and the waiter might say thank you have a great evening or come back soon.

323

And you say, thank you, we will.

324

And you walk out feeling happy and full.

325

The perfect end to a perfect meal.

326

Okay, my friends, now let's review.

327

Let's go through all the important phrases from today nice and slowly.

328
