The history of cold dishes and snacks. Studying the range of hot snacks, features and technologies for their preparation

Nowadays, public catering is developing according to different directions. A large number of restaurants with national cuisine are emerging, new types of public catering establishments are emerging: pubs, sushi bars, etc. and, consequently, a positively designed menu is one of the main components for the effective operation of a restaurant.

Often the menu is the first and exclusive advertisement that will 100% attract the attention of visitors.

It is a well-developed menu that will have a significant impact on price management in a restaurant, help make a profit and optimize the work process in a particular establishment.

The word "menu" comes from the French "menu" and denotes a schedule of dishes and drinks for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as rations (three meals a day) compiled to serve meetings, symposiums, etc. The second definition of “menu” is a form, card, sheet of paper on which the name of the dishes is printed or written . Below are other definitions of "menu" from various sources.

Menu- this is a list, arranged in one order, of various cold and hot appetizers, first and second courses, hot and cold drinks, flour confectionery products available for sale in a restaurant on a given day, indicating prices, yield, preparation method and a list of their components . The menu is the business card of the restaurant and an advertising tool.

Menu- this is a list of dishes and drinks that the enterprise has, indicating their quantitative indicators and prices. The menu is a sheet folded in half or shaped like a notebook. It should have as many pages as needed to include all the food and drinks. The menu should be translated into 1-2 languages.

When creating a menu, you should be guided by GOST R 5076 – 95 “Public catering. Classification of enterprises".

At the first stage of menu development, an assortment of dishes and drinks is developed, containing regular, new and signature dishes. At the same time, you need to continuously monitor the changing preferences of customers, study the need for dishes and make changes to the menu. The second step is to determine which dishes should be highlighted on the menu. To attract attention to a dish, you need to place its name with a photo and advertising text in the most advantageous place on the menu. Good advertising of a dish increases sales. At the third stage, the dishes included in the menu are analyzed for popularity and profitability.

When creating a menu, you need to consider the following factors:

Approximate range of dishes, drinks and products;

Presence of raw materials and products in the warehouse;

Seasonality of products;

Availability of food preparation standards (collections of recipes, technical and technological maps for new and signature dishes);

Features of the population served (age, national, highly professional, religious);

Service times (breakfast, lunch, dinner); forms of service recommended for this group of customers (business lunch, buffet, family lunch);

Labor intensity of dishes, culinary and confectionery products;

Specialization of the kitchen in relation to the kitchens of competitors;

Estimated level of profit;

Expenses for purchasing products, renting premises, wages personnel;

Staff working hours.

The menu should be varied in types of raw materials (fish, seafood, meat, poultry, game, vegetables, cereals, eggs, dairy, flour) and methods of culinary processing (boiled, poached, fried, stewed, baked).

When compiling a menu, special attention should be paid to the correct combination of side dishes and sauces with the main products: boiled potatoes - for pike perch in Polish, fried potatoes - for beef stroganoff, rusk sauce for boiled cauliflower, etc.

When compiling the menu, the taste of the food and the appearance of the dishes are taken into account. It should also be borne in mind that taste harmony should be achieved in dishes due to positively selected components with each other. For example, cranberries with game, apples with pork, tomatoes with veal, lemon with fish.

Dishes included in the menu must be available during the entire opening time of the hall. When creating a menu for a set menu, a family lunch or a business lunch, you need to consider alternating dishes by day of the week.

In a restaurant, the menu is compiled by the production manager with the participation of the head waiter, after which the calculator calculates the selling prices of the dishes and passes the menu to the director for approval.

On the first page of the menu there is a special offer of dishes for that day, then a list of specialties, then a list of dishes in the order in which they are served. The selection of meals and snacks can be expanded to include seasonal and specialties.

When developing a menu, you need to follow the rules for the arrangement of snacks and dishes, taking into account the sequence in which they are served to visitors.

The order of appetizers, dishes and items on the menu must meet the following requirements:

The naming of dishes and snacks goes from less spicy, containing a small number of extractive substances, to more spicy, spicy ones;

The list of hot dishes starts from boiled, from stewed goes to fried, stewed, baked;

Soups are listed from clear to dressing, soups - puree, milk, cold, sweet.

The sequence of appetizers and dishes on the menu is as follows:

First, signature dishes are indicated on the menu; they are included in a separate section of the menu, regardless of which group of dishes they belong to. After this, the menu includes cold dishes and snacks, and dairy products.

After cold dishes and appetizers, salads are listed in order depending on the raw materials: fish salads after cold fish dishes, meat salads after cold meat dishes, hot appetizers, soups and main courses, sweet dishes, hot and cold drinks, flour culinary and confectionery products . Salads can also be separated into a separate group, in which case they are listed before cold meat dishes.

At specialized enterprises, the menu begins with dishes and drinks typical for this enterprise.

Commercial information contained in the menu includes: address of the enterprise, its telephone number, operating hours, kitchen features, list of additional services, their cost, conditions for reserving seats. The information can be supplemented with interesting historical information about the enterprise or individual menu items. At the end of the menu, information is provided on how to pay for services.

Creating a menu is considered a very difficult matter, since in the restaurant business it is necessary to take into account many factors: the tastes and desires of visitors; qualifications of cooks; available equipment and capacity; prices and pricing strategy (cost and profitability); nutritional value; gross profit; precision of wording; qualitative menu analysis; external design of the menu.

The basis for creating a menu should be high quality dishes and speed of service. When creating a menu, it is necessary to take into account the tastes and desires of visitors. A restaurant opens after finding a gap in the market specifically for a restaurant of this profile, and this means that the menu must correspond to the profile and concept of the restaurant.

The qualifications of the chefs must also correspond to the concept and profile of the restaurant. There are two main factors in determining this: can they cope with the flow of orders during peak hours; whether their culinary skills meet the expectations of guests. That is, the determining indicators of qualifications are the chefs’ compliance with the conditions of a particular restaurant, which has a menu with a certain number of dishes of a certain complexity and a certain number of visitors.

All types of menus are divided depending on the population of consumers, the type of enterprise and the accepted forms of serving the menu. The main types of menus used in restaurants include: free choice menu; set lunch menu; business lunch menu; Sunday brunch menu; daily diet menu; banquet menu; vegetarian, lenten, seasonal menu; menu of thematic events; cyclical menu.

The following types of menus are used in catering establishments in hotels and hotel complexes.

Menu "alacard" indicates a la carte dishes with an individual price for each. Used in expensive restaurants, most often located in high-category hotel complexes.

Menu "tabled'hot"– common table menu, offers options for formed sets of appetizers, dishes, desserts, drinks at a single fixed price. The common table menu program includes from five to seven items. The use of such a menu is practiced in restaurants at hotel complexes, as it ensures fast and economical service.

The tourist menu is structured to attract the attention of tourists, emphasizing cheapness and nutritional qualities - essential information for tourists. National dishes that are interesting for tourists may be emphasized, or the opportunity to have lunch quickly and inexpensively.

Restaurants practice compiling express lunches(on separate forms), and the dishes from this menu should not be repeated in the menu of the ordered dishes. The lunch and express lunch menus are only used during the restaurant's daytime operating hours.

On the lunch menu special dishes include easy-to-cook dishes that are convenient for the holidays. This type of menu is convenient to use in station restaurants and airports. The main courses should include snacks of three or four types, first courses - two, second courses - four or five, sweet dishes, hot and cold drinks of three or four types, as well as flour confectionery products. Lunch and express lunch menus are typewritten daily. These menus are handed to visitors during the day when they take their order.

This is a cold, savory appetizer, usually consumed with strong drinks, consisting of a slice of lemon sprinkled in a semicircle with finely ground coffee and powdered sugar. According to legend, Nicholas I once tasted real French cognac. It seemed to the emperor to be very strong, and only a slice of lemon was at hand. Subsequently, he repeatedly tasted cognac with lemon and once suggested that those around him try it. Since then, the process of drinking strong drinks with lemon has taken root and has survived to this day. According to another version, the snack was invented in the palace kitchen of Nicholas II. Allegedly, it was there that they determined that in the best possible way The bouquet of cognac is shaded with lemon.

INTRODUCTION

restaurant appetizer dish

The purpose of this course work is to study the technology of preparation, design and distribution of hot snacks, assess their quality and safety, study the assortment of hot snacks and expand it into the menu of a first-class restaurant.

· study the technological properties of this type of raw material

· present an assortment of complex hot poultry dishes

· consider the organization of the cooking process

Currently, the country's public catering industry is experiencing significant changes associated with the transition to market relations.

It should be noted that food, which constitutes one of the forms of consumption, along with production, distribution and circulation (exchange), is an integral part of social production. Satisfying the personal needs of the population for food involves its production and organization of consumption, which arise and develop in close connection with the material conditions of society and appear in an individual or socially organized form. In the second case, food is produced and consumed in large quantities in special enterprises: canteens, cafes, restaurants.

The speed of service, attentiveness and diligence on the part of the restaurant’s professional staff in attracting customers can guarantee mass visits even in the first time after opening. The pleasant atmosphere of coziness and comfort will involuntarily make those who come for the first time want to visit the restaurant again and make it their permanent venue for important events. business meetings or pleasant romantic dates, evening gatherings with friends or quiet dinners with family.

The presence of a cultural and entertainment program that accompanies visitors’ stay in the restaurant has always endowed these establishments with special charm. Live music, karaoke, dance shows, retro evenings, celebrations memorable dates, organizing events at the request of the customer and many other types of entertainment will make the restaurant a place for consuming delicious food and a pleasant leisure center for visitors.

In connection with the above, the organization of work and production of a restaurant, customer service for catering establishments, and how to determine and set the correct restaurant development strategy are of particular relevance.

1.ORGANIZATIONAL PART

1.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENTERPRISE BEING DEVELOPED

Restaurant "Sliyanie" first class with 75 seats.

A restaurant is an enterprise in which the organization high level serving visitors in the sales area is combined with organizing the production of a wide range of culinary and confectionery products, as well as the production of signature dishes, snacks and drinks.

The cuisine (menu) of a restaurant differs from the menu of canteens and bistros, as a rule, in a wide range of wines, drinks, culinary and confectionery products, their design, and taste. Culinary dishes and confectionery products are prepared by chefs and confectioners who have achieved high professional skills and know the intricacies of preparing dishes and drinks. Many restaurants specialize in cooking only national dishes or foreign cuisine, for example, a Chinese restaurant serves Chinese cuisine, and the service shows a Chinese flavor.

As additional services, restaurants organize the sale of culinary and confectionery products through culinary stores, order tables, buffets and restaurant bars, and accept orders for home service.

In addition to city restaurants, there are restaurants located at hotels, railway stations, and airports. Restaurants located on streets and avenues must have a sign at the entrance with the operating hours, and on the facade of the building - a sign with the name of the restaurant (restaurant "Slovakia", restaurant "Victoria"), well lit in the evening. The entrance to the restaurant should be well lit and have a place to park a car.

State standard Russian Federation(GOST R 500762--2007) establishes the classification of restaurants depending on the quality of the services provided, the interior, as well as the range of custom-made and signature dishes and products. Based on the totality of these distinctive features, restaurants are divided into three classes - luxury, upper class and the first one.

A “first” class restaurant is characterized by simplicity and originality of the interior, harmony and comfort. Decorative elements are used in the interior to create a unified style; the name of the restaurant, the specifics of the cuisine and other factors are taken into account. When decorating, valuable types of wood, synthetic finishing materials. The furniture in the restaurant is comfortable, durable, the tables are covered with polyester. For table setting, not tablecloths can be used, but individual linen napkins and inexpensive porcelain tableware. First class restaurants offer a wide selection of culinary dishes and snacks, drinks, and custom-made dishes of simple preparation. Service is provided by waiters and bartenders in uniform (white top, dark bottom). In the evening, music is played in the restaurant, for which stereophonic radio equipment and lighting equipment are used.

1.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOT SHOP. SELECTION OF TRADE AND TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT

Hot shop dishes must comply with the requirements of state standards, industry standards, enterprise standards, collections of recipes for dishes and culinary products, technical specifications and be developed according to technological instructions and maps, technical and technological maps, subject to Sanitary rules for catering establishments.

The main requirement for the layout of the workplace is its location, which would minimize the chef’s transitions from one type of equipment to another. In accordance with this requirement, insert sections with a water-folding device and inventory cabinets are installed next to the stoves, tables are installed near ovens and frying pans, tables with built-in baths are placed between the cooking boilers, and universal drives and vegetable cutting machines are placed between the production tables and the thermal equipment.

The order in which workplaces are placed on production lines is of great importance, since the nature of the movement of service personnel depends on this. The shorter this path, the less human time and energy will be spent in the production process, the more efficiently the equipment will be used. Properly organized technological lines can reduce unnecessary unproductive movements of workers, facilitate working conditions and help increase productivity. The plan of the hot shop for a restaurant with 300 seats is shown in Figure 1.

When placing equipment, it is necessary to observe, first of all, the principle of flow, so that when performing work, cooks do not make unproductive movements in the opposite direction technological process. The most rational is linear placement of equipment. During work, cooks move only along the equipment line and turn no more than 90°.

For the rational organization of labor in the workplace, when completing technological lines, it is necessary to take into account not only the sequence of operations, but also the direction in which the process is being conducted. Cooks' labor productivity is 5-8% higher if technological processes are directed from right to left.

In accordance with labor safety requirements, the cook must be at the control panel while the machine is operating, so the loading openings of machines with mechanical drives (meat grinder, mince mixers, vegetable slicers, bread slicers) and most heating devices are on the right, and the unloading openings or receiving trays are on the left. This also supports the conclusion that processing should be directed from right to left.

Since the length of technological lines is limited by the overall dimensions of the workshops, it is permissible to use the linear-group method of arranging equipment according to technological processes. Lines are located parallel to the lines of thermal equipment in the hot shop auxiliary equipment. Technological lines can have a wall or island arrangement; they are installed in one or two adjacent lines, parallel or perpendicular to the distribution.

The hot shop should be equipped with a variety of equipment: cutting boards, skimmers (for removing foam), scoops (for pouring liquid), sieves, stewpans for sautéing vegetables, metal and large baking sheets cast iron frying pans for frying semi-finished meat products. To determine the volume occupied by the product in the boiler, measuring rulers-boiler gauges are used, and chef's knives are used to cut products; carbing (for figured cutting).

Characteristics of workplaces. At the chef’s workplace, for preparing broths and soups, the heating equipment line installs digester boilers of various capacities, frying pans for sautéing roots, and stoves for preparing portioned first courses.

The line of non-mechanical equipment includes the following tables: with a refrigerated cabinet, where fats, sour cream, herbs and other products are stored for a short period of time; with a built-in washing bath for washing cereals, herbs and other products; for installation of small mechanization equipment, storage of equipment, spices. Ready-made dishes are transferred to distribution lines, where they are portioned and released to waiters or directly to consumers.

In large catering establishments, large-capacity digester kettles (100, 160, 250 l) are installed in the first course preparation line. Food boilers can be equipped with special mesh inserts, which are immersed and removed from them by a mobile lifting mechanism, the bottom of the grid is folded back manually when unloading the contents. Using a moving mechanism, the mesh inserts are delivered and lowered into the boiler along with the products, and removed at the end of cooking.

During periods of low workload, compotes, jelly, and syrups for jellies and mousses are prepared in the soup department of the workshop.

At the workplace for preparing hot drinks, a stove, a boiler, and a production table (SMSM) are installed. This table can accommodate a coffee grinder and a coffee maker. There are also teapots for brewing tea, tea and coffee cups, coffee pots, milk jugs, and cream jugs. Tea, instant coffee and beans are stored in tightly closed containers.

Coffee and cocoa with milk are prepared in a stovetop container. Milk and cream are boiled in it. Hot drinks can also be prepared in a separate room - a coffee buffet.

At the workplace for preparing fried dishes and side dishes, a deep fryer, a frying pan, a stove, and a table-cabinet with cooling are installed in which fat and semi-finished products are stored. When deep-frying, food is placed in a mesh liner and lowered into fat heated in the deep fryer (there should be 4-5 times more fat than product). Using the liner mesh, the finished product is removed from the fryer.

When frying food in the main way, a frying pan is heated, fat is placed in it (bring it to a boil), and then products made from meat, fish, vegetables or other products. Spatulas are used to turn them over, and paddles are used to stir them.

A small number of products are fried on the stove in a stovetop container.

If vegetables are cut in a hot shop before frying, then for this purpose they use a replaceable mechanism for cutting vegetables to a universal drive PG-0.6 or PU-0.6; to cut small quantities, use a cutting board marked OS and three chef's knives.

At the workplace for cooking and stewing dishes, sauces and side dishes, food boilers, stoves and tables with refrigerated cabinets, tables with built-in washing baths are installed.

Boilers for cooking side dishes can be equipped with mesh inserts in which the product is lowered into the boiler. This creates significant convenience when cooking pasta, rice, etc. To prepare mashed potatoes, use a wiping machine, which is part of a universal drive type PG-0.6 and PU-0.6, or a mobile machine MKP-60. The machine is used for preparing mashed potatoes cooked in 60-liter digester kettles.

For stewing food, they use stewpans - flatware with a thick bottom, for cooking fish links - chaplite fish cauldrons with mesh inserts, for steaming - cauldrons of different capacities with mesh inserts.

For sorting and washing cereals, as well as for washing side dishes, tables with built-in baths are used. Fats, processed foods, and red base sauce are stored in tables with refrigerated cabinets. On the table surface cutting boards marked MB, PB cut boiled meat, fish, poultry.

At the workplace for baking dishes, an oven and a table with a refrigerated cabinet are installed. Many products undergo other types of processing before baking, for example, when preparing cabbage rolls, cabbage is first blanched, when making minced cabbage rolls, rice is boiled in a cauldron, and onions are sautéed. In this regard, other types of equipment are also used: electric boilers, electric frying pans. These operations can also be performed on an electric stove in a stovetop container.

Baking is the final operation. To do this, use baking trays with high sides, which are filled with semi-finished products and placed in the oven. In restaurants, dishes are also baked in portioned dishes: frying pans (hodgepodge in a frying pan), cocotte makers (mushrooms, baked dishes, sauces in sour cream sauce), kokilnitsa (fish baked in milk sauce). Baked sweet dishes are also prepared at this workplace: baked apples, puddings with sweet sauces.

The first courses are portioned into deep plates, broth cups, accompanying products - into pie plates (pies, dumplings with garlic), small plates (krupenik); the second (240 mm), oval and round in gravy boats. If restaurants serve lunch and dinner, then hot shop can work 1.5 shifts, if it also includes breakfast, then 2 shifts. In the hot shop, lines for preparing first and second courses are organized with the allocation of work stations for the preparation of: 1) broths; 2) first courses; 3) hot drinks; 4) frying main courses, side dishes; 5) cooking and stewing main courses, sauces and side dishes; 6) baking dishes.

1.3 PRODUCTION PROGRAM

The successful execution of the production process depends on operational planning and proper organization work in public catering establishments.

The essence of operational planning lies in drawing up the production program of the enterprise. Production program planning issues are dealt with by production managers (deputies), supervisors production workshops, foremen, accounting workers.

Production program - a reasonable plan for the production of all types of products own production.

Operational planning includes the following elements:

1. Drawing up a planned menu for the week and developing a menu plan based on it, reflecting the daily program of the enterprise.

2. Calculation of the need for products for preparing dishes provided for in the menu plan.

3. Filling out a request - an invoice for the release of products from the pantry.

COMPILATION OF A TABLE OF LOADING OF THE TRADING FLOOR

To draw up a production program, a sales floor loading schedule is drawn up to determine the number of consumers per day

The sales floor load table is compiled taking into account the operating hours of the enterprise, the level of load of the sales floor during the day and the turnover of one seat per hour. The number of consumers in each hour of operation of the enterprise is determined by the formula:

P - number of seats in the designed catering establishment

n - turnover of one place per hour

C - average percentage of sales floor occupancy (%)

Opening hours

Number of boardings per hour

Average room occupancy percentage (C%)

Number of consumers (N)

Food conversion factor (n)

In the table below, the food conversion factor (K) is determined by the formula:

N hour - the number of consumers who passed through the sales area within one hour (persons);

N day - total number of consumers

DETERMINING THE QUANTITY OF DISHES AND DRINKS TO BE MADE

The total number of dishes produced per day (n) is determined by the formula:

N is the number of consumers served by this enterprise per day (persons);

M is the coefficient of food consumption by one visitor in public catering establishments of various types.

Considering that in a public first-class restaurant with 75 seats, the food consumption coefficient is m = 3.5, the total number of dishes produced per day is:

n=368*3.5=1288(dishes).

Breakdown of dishes by assortment in accordance with the consumption rates of individual types.

After calculating the total number of dishes sold by the enterprise per day, they are broken down by type (cold, first, second and sweet). It is taken into account that the consumption coefficient of dishes m is the sum of the consumption coefficients of their individual types.

m=m cold dishes + m main dishes + m sweet dishes

n cold dishes =N*m cold dishes;

n first courses =N*m first courses, etc.

The calculation data is summarized in the following table.

Breakdown of dishes by assortment in the first class restaurant “Sliyanie” with 75 seats.

The quantity of hot and cold drinks, flour confectionery and bakery products, bread is determined according to the consumption standards of the above products per person per day.

DEVELOPING A MENU PLAN

The menu plan is a production program for public catering establishments with a full production cycle and working on semi-finished products. In publicly accessible enterprises, the menu plan is drawn up based on the approximate range of products produced and sold for a given type of enterprise, the seasonality of raw materials, and the breakdown of dishes by assortment.

The ratio of assortment in each group of dishes is determined by consumer demand. The menu plan indicates the number of recipes, the output of dishes, the name and quantity of dishes of each type produced per day.

2.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF A GROUP OF DISHES

A hot appetizer, in fact, can be almost any dish. For example, boiled, fried or baked vegetables, hot sandwiches, sandwiches and toast, fish or poultry cooked in batter, croutons and julienne - each of these treats can serve as an excellent start to the main meal. Hot appetizers are included in the menu after cold appetizers.

If, when serving main courses, etiquette requires the presence of a knife, then you can eat appetizers without it, and this will not be considered “bad form,” because the main rule for preparing them is to cut them rather finely.

At the same time, these treats can be placed on the table in the same container in which they were prepared (for example, in original cocotte or poached pans, small portioned frying pans). It is worth remembering, however, that the main goal of these dishes is not to quench the appetite, but to awaken it, so snacks usually have a rather pungent taste and an abundance of spices and herbs.

Vegetables should be washed not in chopped form, but in whole form; Vegetables for cooking should be placed in boiling, salted water and cooked in a boiler, covered with a lid, at low boil, strictly observing the established time limits. To preserve vitamin C in greens, it is important to prevent long periods of storage and especially wilting.

When serving hot appetizers (in portioned frying pans), they are placed on heated snack plates covered with paper napkins to prevent the pans from slipping.

If the order menu includes fish and meat snacks, then after the fish snacks the waiter must replace the snack plate and cutlery.

Most hot appetizers are served and eaten in the same container in which they were prepared (in chillers, portioned frying pans. Therefore, they are placed directly in front of the guest when serving).

Champignon or porcini mushrooms. Fried mushrooms are seasoned with sour cream and placed in a cocotte maker, sprinkled with grated cheese. Before serving, the cocotte makers are placed in the oven for baking. The appetizer is served in the same cocotte maker. There are two cocotte makers per serving, you can offer half a serving.

Game julienne. Game fillet, as well as ham, tongue, and champignons are cut into strips, seasoned with sour cream sauce, sprinkled with cheese and baked in cocotte makers. Serve two cocotte bowls per serving.

Meatballs in tomato. Meatballs can be served in round lambs or on a cupronickel frying pan.

Crabs. They are prepared in tomato sauce. Serve two cocotte bowls per serving.

Cancers. Among the gourmet hot appetizers, they are in greatest demand. Foreign restaurants believe that it is best to use them as delicacies from May to August, i.e., in months whose names do not have the letter “r”. A variety of snacks are prepared from crayfish. Boiled crayfish are in particular demand.

If crayfish (as well as crabs and shrimp) are cooked in broth, they are served in soup bowls, a deep half-portioned plate is placed on the table and special device. Boiled crayfish are served on round dishes. A snack plate and a special device are placed on the table. On the right side, place a slightly damp napkin on a small plate to wipe your fingers.

Having placed the appetizers, the waiter takes bottles of alcoholic beverages and asks permission to fill glasses or wine glasses.

After this, he can move away from the table, for example, to the sideboard and from there observe all the tables in his service area, so that if necessary, he can immediately come to the aid of the guest, for example, put him a snack from a common dish on a plate, etc. The waiter should not be annoying, but obliged to be attentive.

Before serving the first courses, you must remove used dishes and cutlery. First, they take the cutlery from the table, and then the plates. They are placed in a stack on a tray, where a napkin is previously laid to avoid unnecessary noise. The tray should not be overloaded to avoid breakage of dishes.

Jellied sturgeon, horseradish sauce;

Broth with profiteroles;

Assorted fish with lemon and olives;

Butter;

Mushrooms in sour cream sauce;

Capital salad;

Fillet with Madeira sauce;

Boiled salmon with boiled potatoes, hollandaise sauce;

For this menu, we can recommend drinks such as dry white wine, since hot sauce is served with the appetizer, the wine should in no case be semi-sweet, and white wine is best suited for fish; mineral water for an aperitif, or a light cocktail based on mineral water, such as Perrier. Since the menu is varied, so as not to interfere with the drinks, it is better to serve a light cocktail based on white wine with the fillet.
