Best Answer

The sequence of a formal meal follows an ala carte menu.

The sequence is:

Appetizer

Soup

Entree

Pasta

Sorbet

Meat

Cheese Plate

Dessert

Coffee

Petit Fours

Formal dinners would follow this sequence of dishes. In a fine dining restaurant, this would be the sequence of dishes on offer. As there are so many courses, the dishes offered are small but finely presented with high quality food.

A sorbet is offered as a palate cleanser and the small serve of crushed fruit ice serves to refresh the taste buds.

Very often, fine restaurants offer different wines matched to the dish offered in that sequence of the ala carte menu.

A cheese plate is offered before the dessert so that all savory dishes are enjoyed firstly before the sweets.

Petit fours are little sweet delicacies offered with coffee.

Al a carte refers to a menu of items priced and ordered separately rather than selected from a list of preset multi-course meals at fixed prices. So each item will come by itself and would be priced seperatly.

On an ala carte menu the appetizers, soups, salads, main courses, desserts, other categories of dishes (such as pastas), etc. are separately listed and you get to design your own meal. This is typical of what most Americans think of as a Chinese restaurant, where you'll order say, egg drop soup, then maybe some dim sum, then a chicken, beef and vegetable dish, etc. About the only thing that usually comes with is white rice, but generally only if you order an entree. Some restaurants "package" a meal (the proverbial "Chinese menu") where for a fixed price you can get soup or dim sum, 2 or more entrees, white rice, hot tea and perhaps even a dessert. But all those items still come off of the "ala carte" menu; they're just helping you decide and giving you a little break by ordering a complete meal.

What does ala carte table set up looks like?

Ala Carte tables can be displayed in a variety of ways considering the type of food one is serving. For the most part, if main entrees are being served, then it will look much like a buffet line, where the customer will pick out individual pieces that he/she believe compliment each other and the server will then retrieve them and make the plate in that sense. Ala carte menus do not consist of fixed plates, with accompanying side dishes like most restaurants, but it allows the consumer to eat the foods that he or she is craving. If one wishes to set up a ala carte table consisting of desserts, the treats will be displayed so that the consumer may also pick from various dishes.

Is ala carte more expansive?

yesThe current question is " Is ala carte more expansive" that is, are these meals more extensive? Indeed, because an ala carte menu is whatever you choose, this can be as short or as extensive/expansive as you desire. You can have just one item from an ala carte menu or as many as you'd like.If the question is meant to be "is ala carte menu more expensive", that is are these meals more costly than set menus, then, the answer is yes, it is, for the same number of courses.For example a set menu may have a standard 3 course menu of entree', mains and dessert. An ala carte menu of the same number of courses will be more expensive as these meals need to be freshly cooked, the ingredients specially purchased and stored, and individually cooked. Set menus are pre-prepared and cooked in bulk for several diners and the ingredients purchased in bulk. Naturally, the individual cost of set meals is less expensive.
