How To Describe Any Dish In English

INTRODUCTION — HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

A guest looks up from the menu and asks: "What does the duck confit taste like?"

You have never tried it. There is silence. This moment happens every shift — and this guide gives you the words to handle it with confidence.

You do not need to have eaten a dish to describe it well. You just need two or three words that help the guest decide whether to order it.

How to use each page:

① Read the description Learn what the dish is and how to describe the taste in simple, natural English.

② Study the ready-made phrase Each dish has a phrase you can use directly with guests. Practise it until it feels natural.

③ Learn the guest question Each page has one common question a guest might ask — and exactly how to answer it.
