Know Before You Go
Dining Tips: | |
| Be Patient | Enjoy the cultural dining experience. The business is happy that you are there and are just as nervous as you. Enjoy and have FUN! |
| Cutlery | Is not commonly used. Request exactly what you need i.e. fork, knife, spoon and straw. |
| Menu | Many have learned British English. You will see words spelled differently not typos. Other words may be spelled phonetically for example, “with” could be spelled “whit” or “breakfast” spelled “breakfas” |
| Water | Do not expect water to be provided automatically. When requesting water, be specific, bottled or non-bottled water. |
| Communication | Remember, English is a second language. Don’t speak too fast. Be patient. Be kind. Don’t be afraid to use the translator on your phone. |
| Ordering | Menus will have pictures and descriptions in English and the native language. |
| Food Allergies | Check the menu before arriving. Ingredient details and food specifications such as gluten free, dairy free, calories may not be available. THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT THERE IS CROSS CONTAMINATION OF INGREDIENTS i.e. nuts, etc. |
| Yes! | “Yes” is a very common answer when something is not understood. It is not an affirmation. |
| NO FAST FOOD | Meals are prepared at the time they are ordered. Meals typically take 10-15 minutes to prepare. |
| Esthetic | Simple. |
| Payment | Cash or Credit Card |
