点菜就餐的典型次序是：找一张桌子坐下(get a table)看菜单(see the menu)点菜(take the order)就餐(have meal)付钱(pay the bill)离开(leave)。英语语言的表达基本上也是依照次顺序。“订餐”在英文中有两种说法，即to book a table和make a reservation。英国以及其它很多国家，餐厅一般划分为吸烟区和非吸烟区。一进餐厅，服务员会主动征询客人的意见，然后引领客人前往所选择的区域就餐。在西餐厅就餐，菜单一般由三类不同的菜别组成。the first course或者starters是指第一道菜，往往是（soup）汤、(salad)一小碟色(specialfevours)其它小吃。第二道菜是主菜。最后一道是甜食(dessert)或冷(cold)或热(hot)，但都是甜的(sweet)。西方饮食习惯是先吃咸的(salty)，后吃甜的。在点菜之前，一般先要份菜单：May I have a menu, please?我可以看菜单吗？Can I take your order now?
