Classic Menu Sequence

Over the last 100 or so years the sequence of the European menu has taken on a classical format or
order of dishes. This format is used to lay out menus as well as to indicate the order of the various
courses. The actual number of courses on menu and dishes within each course will depend on the size
and class of the establishment, often follow the classic sequence.
Starters
➢ Hors d’ oeuvres (ordervs) Traditionally this course consisted of a variety of compound salads but
now includes items such as patas, mousses, fruit, charcuterie, and smoked fish.
➢ Soups (potages). includes all soups, both hot and cold.
➢ Egg Dish (oeufs). There are a great number of egg dishes beyond the usual omelets, but these have
not retained their popularity on modern menus.
➢ Pasta and rice (farineux). Can be referred to as farinaceous dishes, those that are made out of starch,
including potatoes and noodles.
Main Courses

TVL-HE 11/12-FOOD AND 8

BEVERAGE SERVICES
Quarter 3- Week 1
➢ Fish (poisson). A fish dish, both hot and cold. Fish dishes, such as smoked salmon or seafood
cocktails, are mainly considered to be hors d’ oeuvres dishes and therefore would be served earlier in
a meal.
➢ Entree (antray). Generally small, well garnished dishes which come from the kitchen ready for
service. They are usually accompanied by a rich sauce or gravy. Potatoes and vegetables are not
usually served with this course if it is to be followed by a main course. If this is the main course, then
it is usual for potatoes and vegetables to be offered. Examples of this type of dish are tournedos,
noisettes, sweetbreads, garnished, cutlets, or filled vol-au-vent cases.
➢ Releve. Main roasts or other larger joints of meat, which would be served together with potatoes and
vegetables.
➢ Roast (roti). Traditionally refers to roasted game or poultry dishes.
➢ Vegetables (legumes). Apart from vegetables served with the Releve or roast courses (e.g., asparagus
and artichokes) served as a separate course, although these types of dishes are now more commonly
served as starters.
➢ Salad (salade). A small plate of salad that is taken after a main course and is quite often simply a
green salad and dressing.
➢ Cold Buffet (buffet froid). A variety of cold meats and fish, cheese and egg items together with a
range of salads and dressings.
➢ Sorbet. Traditionally, sorbets (sometimes called “granites”) were served to give a pause within a meal,
allowing the palate to be refreshed. They are lightly frozen water ices, which is usually based on
unsweetened fruit juice, and might be served with spirit, liquor or even champagne. Russian cigarettes
also used to be offered at this stage of a meal.
