From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
À la carte (also à la carte) is a French expression meaning "from the menu", and it is used in restaurant terminology in one of two ways:
- It may refer to a menu of items priced and ordered separately rather than selected from a list of preset multi-course meals at fixed prices (see Table d'hôte).
- Or it may designate the option to order a main course item alone that is otherwise served with a side or starter dish, such as soup or salad.
