Work in pairs. You are a food and beverage manager and a head chef. Design a menu for your

restaurant. Decide first which kind of menu you want to offer (bar, fast food, a la carte, vegetarian,

etc.); then decide which courses you will offer (appetizers, light bites/starters, rice/pasta dishes, main

courses, side orders, salads, sandwiches, desserts, etc.). Do not forget the key points for writing a good

menu.

1 When the menus are complete, stick them up around your classroom for everybody to see. Then
decide which menu you prefer and why. Do not write your names on the menus but you can give your
restaurant a name. That way the competition will be more fun!
