Table d'hôte
Table d'hôte is a
French phrase which literally means "host's table". It is used in
restaurant terminology to indicate a
menu where multi-course
meals with limited choices are charged at a fixed price. Such a menu may also be called prix fixe ("fixed price"). Because the menu is set, the
cutlery on the table may also already be set for all of the courses, with the first course cutlery on the outside, working in towards the plate as the courses progress.
