Ordering food at a restaurant from "summary" of Easy Spanish Phrase Book NEW EDITION by Pablo Garcia Loaeza
When you go to a restaurant in a Spanish-speaking country, you will need to know how to order your food. To do this, you can start by asking for a table by saying "¿Podemos tener una mesa para dos, por favor?" which means "Can we have a table for two, please?" Once you are seated, a waiter will come to take your order. You can browse the menu and when ready, you can call the waiter by saying "¡Mesero!" which means "Waiter!" You can then proceed to tell the waiter what you would like to eat by saying "Quisiera el plato del día, por favor" which means "I would like the daily special, please." If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, you can mention them by saying "Soy vegetariano/a" which means "I am vegetarian" or "No como carne de cerdo" which means "I don't eat pork." If you would like to know more about a certain dish, you can ask the waiter by saying "¿Qué lleva este plato?" which means "What does this dish have?" If you would like to make any modifications to your order, you can do so by saying "Sin cebolla, por favor" which means "No onions, please" or "Con salsa aparte" which means "With sauce on the side." After placing your order, you can ask for a drink by saying "¿Puedo tener un vaso de agua, por favor?" which means "Can I have a glass of water, please?" You can also ask for the bill when you are finished by saying "La cuenta, por favor" which means "The bill, please." It is customary to leave a tip, which is usually around 10% of the total bill. Ordering food at a restaurant in a Spanish-speaking country may seem daunting at first, but with these phrases and tips, you will be able to navigate the menu and communicate with the waiter effectively. Remember to be polite and patient, and enjoy your meal!
