预订餐桌
若计划前去的是知名度高、具有相当特色或深受大众推荐的餐厅，则电话预先订位的程序是绝对少不了的。在订位时，通常店家会询问顾客姓名、预定到达时间以及用餐人数等相关资料；而若是消费者有特殊需求，如：指定非吸烟区座位、要求安静的包厢等，亦须在订位时表明。

享用中餐
中餐是享誉全球的美食之一，它有以下几个特点：1. 由于我国多数人在饮食上受宗教的禁忌约束较少，而人们在饮食上又喜欢猎奇，讲究物以稀为贵，所以中餐的选料非常广泛，几乎是飞、潜、动、植，无所不食。2. 原料加工上，中餐厨师非常讲究刀工，可以把原料加工成细小的丝、丁、片、末等刀口。3. 烹调上，中餐做菜一般使用的圆底锅、明火灶非常适宜炒菜，所以中餐中使用炒的烹调方法非常多。4. 口味上，中餐菜肴大都有明显的咸味，并富于变化，多数菜肴都是完全熟后再食用。5. 主食上，中餐有明确的主、副食概念，主食有米、面等多种制品。

烹饪食物
假如您以为西式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒再将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热，那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说，西方人以早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及快餐晚餐而发育健壮，这倒是真的。
当然，谈到好厨艺，西方人并非独占鳌头。无论您到世界何处，人们总是爱吃，所以，每一个国家都有它特有的、令人垂涎三尺的佳肴。而美国，这个“移民之地”实际上也引进了各式的烹调。在西方，大多数的名厨对于几种烹饪“方言”的掌握都很“流利”。

西餐这个词是由它特定的地理位置所决定的。“西”是西方的意思，一般指欧洲各国。"餐"就是饮食菜肴，我们通常所说的西餐主要包括西欧国家的饮食菜肴，当然同时还包括东欧各国、地中海沿岸等国和一些拉丁美洲如墨西哥等国的菜肴。而东南亚各国的菜肴一般统称为东南亚菜，但也有独为一种菜系的，如：印度菜。西餐一般以刀叉为餐具、以面包为主食，多以长形桌台为台形。西餐的主要特点是主料突出，形色美观，口味鲜美，营养丰富，供应方便等。

自助餐厅
快餐（a quick lunch /or meal、 a snack、 fast food ）指预先做好的能够迅速提供顾客食用的饭食，如汉堡包、盒饭等。港台一带或译作速食、即食、便当等。而消费者对快餐的理解是多种多样的，远不止外来语原意所能包容。但无外乎这么几点，即快餐一般由食品工厂生产或大中型餐饮企业加工的，大众化、节时、方便，可以充当主食。快餐最早出现于西方世界，英语称为“quickmeal”或“fastfood”；引入中国之后，中文名称就叫“快餐”，即烹饪好了的、能随时供应的饭食。

快餐外卖
在西方，人们不仅喜欢外带食品回家还喜欢叫餐。当他们没有时间去饭店的时候，他们就拿出印制好的外卖送餐的一些菜谱，让饭店送餐到家。比如，必胜客在西方就基本上以这种形式做生意。这种形式在繁忙的商务人员和不能从学习中脱身的大学生中非常流行。在大城市，许多餐馆过了半夜还可以给送餐，很适合人们吃夜宵。
这些饭店通常要求最低消费10美元—20美元才能送餐。想点餐，你就拨打饭店的电话，点你想要的食物，然后留下你的地址。点完餐，食物通常会在30分钟—45分钟内送到。

酒水甜点
中西糕点的区别很简单，来源于中国的为中点，其他外来的即是西点。其实在烹饪学看来，中西糕点制作属于一门课程，不管是中点还是西点，共同点很多，比如现在红遍大江南北的广式蛋塔其根源就是西点里一种起酥类的改良，取长补短，相辅相成，推陈出新，本来就是人们的不变信条。作为世界闻名的饮料，茶与咖啡已经与人们的生活息息相关。很早以前，中国的茶叶就通过海陆运输，传播到世界各地，“茶给人类的好处无法估计”； 咖啡更多的代表了现在的休闲生活，咖啡也代表了西方的“团队思想”。

用餐礼仪
在中国，从古至今大多都以左为尊，在宴请客人时，要将地位很尊贵的客人安排在左边的上座，然后依次安排。在西方则是以右为尊，男女间隔而座，夫妇也分开而座，女宾客的席位比男宾客的席位稍高，男士要替位于自己右边的女宾客拉开椅子，以示对女士的尊重。另外，西方人用餐时要坐正，认为弯腰，低头，用嘴凑上去吃很不礼貌，但是这恰恰是中国人通常吃饭的方式。吃西餐的时候，主人不提倡大肆的饮酒，中国的餐桌上酒是必备之物，以酒助兴，有时为了表示对对方的尊重，会喝得较多。
典型对话
1.先上冷盘
A：Here are your cold dishes，sir. A：先生，您的冷盘来了。 B：Thank you.I wonder why a Chinese dinner always starts with cold dishes instead of hot courses.

A：我们国家的习惯是先上冷盘，因为冷盘是事先准备好的，而热菜一般要到酒宴开始时才准备。 B：Oh，I see.The chef in your country is in the habit of preparing cold dishes first. B：噢，我明白了。你们国家的厨师习惯于先准备冷盘。A：Yes，sir.We usually regard the dinner party as an occasion for a friendly chat. A：是的，先生。我们一般把酒宴看作是朋友闲聊的机会。
2.错过机会
A：Why do with cold dishes first？ A：为什么要上冷盘？ B：We usually talk more and eat less at the beginning of the dinner.So if hot courses are served，they get cold.For this reason，cold dishes are usually served first. B：酒宴开始时我们一般谈得多，吃得少。所以如果上热菜的话，菜很快会凉了。由于这个缘故，通常先上冷盘。 A：I see now. Thank you.But the problem is that I'm already full when it comes to wonderful hot courses and often miss the chance of enjoying Chinese courses. A：现在我真的明白了。谢谢。但问题是，当美味的热菜上来时我已经吃饱，所以常常错过了品尝中国菜肴的机会。 B：So you'd better save your appetite for the hot courses. B：所以你要留着胃口吃热菜。
3.邀会时间
A：Jack，I've been told that you shouldn't arrive too early if you're invited to a dinner party by an American. A：杰克，我听说在美国如果被邀请参加一个晚宴不能到得太早。 B：Yes，just make sure you're not earlier than the time set. B：是的。你一定不要早于约定的时间。 A：Why so？ A：为什么？ B：That's just the custom here.Maybe the host and hostess are still busy running around finishing last minute chores. B：这就是风俗习惯。可能主人在最后几分钟还在忙一些杂事呢。 A：But it is not the case in China.You'd better arrive earlier，otherwise，the host will think you're impolite. A：但是在中国情况不一样。你最好早点到，否则主人会认为你没有礼貌。 B：Oh，I will keep this point in mind. B：哦，我记住了。
4.摆放位置
A：What is the proper way to handle a napkin at dinner？ A：宴会上使用餐巾的正确方法是什么？ B：Ordinarily，as soon as you are seated you put your napkin in your lap.At a formal dinner，however，you wait for your hostess to put hers on her lap first.Remove the napkin from the table，plate it on your lap，and unfold it as much as necessary with both hands. B：通常情况下就座后就把餐巾搁在腿上。但是在正式的宴会上，你需要等到女主人先把餐巾搁在腿上。把餐巾从桌上拿下来，搁在腿上，用双手摊开至需要的大小。 A：Which glasses are used for which wines？ Where are the glasses placed？ A：什么样的酒配什么样的杯子呢？酒杯又放在哪儿呢？ B：Sherry，which is served at room temperature，is poured into small，Vshaped glasses.White wine，which is served well chilled，is poured into round bowled，stemmed glasses. B：雪利酒，室温下喝，装在V形小杯子里。白葡萄酒，冰凉时喝，装在圆碗形带柄的酒杯中。
5.礼物
A：What should I bring？ I certainly can't go there empty handed.You know，in China we always bring some gifts to a dinner party，such as fruits，cakes，a common gift especially in the Spring Festival. A：我该带些什么去呢？我的意思是我不能空手去吧。你知道在中国，我们经常会送上一些水果或糕点之类的礼物，特别是在春节时期。 B：It is not necessary if you're a friend of the family，but if you're invited for the first time，you could bring a small gift such as a bunch of flowers，or candy for the kids.You know，this is just a “token”gift. B：如果是那家的常客，没必要带礼物。但是，第一次去你可以带一件小礼物。比如一束鲜花或为孩子们买点糖果。这只是“象征性”的礼物。 A：Oh，I see. A：哦，我明白了。
6.家庭做客
A：Miss Wang，someone told me that a guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink or food，is that so？ A：王小姐，有人告诉我在中国家庭做客时，一定不要吃光食物，是这样吗？ B：Yes，you should leave a little to show that you have had enough.If you eat up the dish the host gives you，he will think you need more and then continue giving you the dish. B：是的，你应当留一点儿，表明你已经饱了。如果你吃光主人给你夹的菜，他会认为你还需要，还会为你夹菜的。 A：But in the United States，“seeing the bottom”of all the plates is the ideal ending to a meal.It means guests should eat up all the food to show that they have enjoyed it. A：但是在美国，所有的盘子见了底才是最理想的结果。它意味着客人非常喜欢这顿饭。 B：Well，in my country it is a sign that the hosts have not prepared enough. B：可是，在我国“见底”则标志主人准备不充足。
7.就餐说什么
A：What should I say at the table？ A：在就餐时我该说些什么呢？ B：The conversation at the table is rather general.Don't bring up any serious topic.But you should remember to comment about how good the food is.Otherwise the host will think you don't like it. B：餐桌上的话题很广泛。不要谈论任何严肃的话题。但是你应该不住地称赞食物做得很好。否则主人会认为你不喜欢吃。 A：Shall I offer to help the host and hostess wash the dishes after the meal？ A：我要不要饭后提出帮忙洗碗呢？ B：No， we Americans always leave the washing up till the next morning. B：不用。我们美国人经常把清洗碗碟的活儿留到次日早晨。 A：Oh，there are so many different dinner customs in China and America. A：哦，中美之间在餐饮习俗上有这么多的差异啊！
结账买单
在外面吃饭谁来付账通常有很多种方式。
人们通常喜欢AA制。就是说，当你在外面吃饭的时候，你只需要付你自己的账，包括自己的餐费、税和小费。如果大家叫的东西一样多，那么可平分账单。如果有人消费得多一些，你也可以要一下账单，看看每个人的餐费总数。有时，如果你要求看账单的话，服务员通常就会把你们的账单分好，给每个人自己的那一份。你也可以要求一部分用信用卡付账，一部分用现金来付。
当你约会的时候，情况就复杂一点。男孩子并不是总付账，特别是当女孩子邀请男孩子的时候。但有些时候，最好是男孩子付两个人的账，在这些情况下，请记得带够钱，防备万一。
