Learn2 Dine in a Formal Restaurant
(5 steps)


Yo, garcon!


Navigating the ins and outs of a fine restaurant can be a bewildering affair. What to wear? Is the salad fork appropriate for foie gras? Which fork among all of that silverware is for salad? And why did the server just snicker?

There's no need to hide in shame. From place settings to wine service to how and where to butter your bread, we'll help you master the mysteries of formal dining.

Before you begin

This 2torial details the proper etiquette for western-style restaurants--cuisine from North and South America, Europe, and so on. Fine dining standards for restaurants of other cultures (particularly Asian) may vary. Also, be aware that even within the western frame of reference, serving styles can vary from place to place.
