FAQs

How do I respond to "Can I buy you lunch?"? ›

Just say, “I really appreciate you offering to pay, but I'd really like to pay for my own meal.” If they ask why, you can tell them that it makes you uncomfortable, or you'd just like to be able to cover your meal, or whatever your reason is.

Someone may offer you food so they feel like a good host. It's the job of the host to 'give' to their guests, so try allowing the person to get you something else: say 'no thank you but I would love a top up of my drink'. You could also try taking what is offered but leaving it on your plate.

It can be a drawback for customers in a hurry or dining with large groups. Complexity: A la carte menus can be more complex and challenging to navigate than other menus. Customers may feel overwhelmed by the full options or need help deciding what to order.

One of the biggest reasons why fancy restaurants serve food in smaller portions is so it can reduce costs for purchasing ingredients. This means that less money will be wasted, and the restaurant will capitalize on a higher profit margin. Purchasing ingredients for food can be expensive for sophisticated restaurants.

What do you say to the waitress/waiter when they ask 'How is your food'? If it's excellent, I'd probably say “It's VERY good, thank you!” If it's okay, I'd probably say “Good, thank you.”

Thank you for the delicious lunch. I had a genuinely great time, and it was a pleasure to spend time together. Thank you so much for the lunch treat. We really enjoyed the delicious meal and catching up with all of our friends!

Expression of thanks

Here are a few examples of what you could say: “Thank you so much for bringing my favorite dish while I was recovering from my C-section.” “I so appreciated your kindness in bringing a meal last week. Thank you for thinking of me.”

Ala carte food is cooked when you order in smaller amounts. It is fresher and the price could be less overall. Generally you get better quality. Reasons to avoid buffets are others picking over the food, it sits out awhile, and you may not be very hungry that day.

Does a la carte mean all you can eat? ›

A la carte is a type of service where each item on the menu is ordered and served separately, while a buffet is a type of meal where food is placed in a public area and diners serve themselves.

A la carte refers to choosing off the menu - choose what you want and pay the individual menu prices for each item. This is usually opposed to 'table d'hôte' which means a fixed price meal.

Michelin Star Restaurants

As such, they typically have strict dress codes that require guests to dress in formal or semi-formal attire. For men, this might mean wearing a suit and tie, while women might opt for a co*cktail dress or formal pantsuit.

Many Michelin restaurants include the service charge in the bill. If not, a 5-10% tip is perfectly acceptable.

In order to earn a star, the food in the restaurant will be reviewed multiple times. To lose one, it will be again reviewed a few times, but generally, it will take less time to make a decision. ‍Key Takeaway: Any restaurant can lose a Michelin Star. Lack of consistency is the main reason why a Star is taken away.

Just say Thanks and agree on a time & place. If I want to go, I tell them I would love to. If I don't want to go, I explain that I'm sorry, but, I'm busy. If their a friend or family, I say heck yes.

The phrase "I want to buy you lunch" is an idiom that means exactly what you want to say: "I'd like to invite you to eat lunch with me and pay for your meal." The phrase "I want to buy your lunch" is not an idiom. It doesn't convey that you're inviting someone to eat with you, just that you'd like to pay for the meal.

Tell the friend that while you appreciate them always offering to take care of the bill, you'd like to contribute. If after this, they still insist on covering the bill, thank them, and try your best to pick up a drink at the bar or the next time you're out.
