Western food etiquette
The late Audrey Hepburn wrote a sentence to her daughter: If you want beautiful lips, to speak kind words; if you want lovely eyes, to see the merits of others; if you want a slim figure, share your food to the hungry; if you want elegant posture, walk to remember that pedestrians are more than just you. So, elegance is to pay attention to your words and behavior. So how can you dine elegantly in a Western restaurant? That's all there is to it. Below I will organize for you about, I hope to help you oh!

1, dress must be neat and decent

Even if there is no suit, men go to upscale Western restaurant should wear a jacket, inner shirt and clean shoes. If it is a formal occasion with foreign clients *** with dinner, then a suit and tie is a must. Ladies, on the other hand, should wear a suit and shoes with a heel, not sandals.

2, sitting posture should be upright and not stiff

After taking a seat, if it is a chair with a back, do not lean your back on it, to stand back, chest, upper body naturally straight. Hands should be placed on the legs, do not use your hands to rest your cheeks or elbows on the table, feet together naturally placed or slightly tilted.

3, do not put your cell phone, wallet or keys on the table

Ordinary party with friends can be randomly ordered, but to go to the upscale Western restaurant you must remember this. Because these are very affect the attention of things, in order to dining companions to show respect, it is best to put the cell phone and other things into the bag.

4, and dining companions to order the same number of dishes

This can maintain the same dining pace, to avoid embarrassment.

5. If you're the guest of honor, remember to be ready to pay the bill early

An experienced host will make a restaurant reservation in advance, arrive 15-20 minutes early, or take your credit card to the waiter before you are seated. If you're a guest, you should also arrive at the appointed time and not be late.

6. Don't tell the sommelier how much you want to buy the wine.

All you have to do is say what kind of wine you like, or point out a wine on the wine list at a price you can accept, and the sommelier will recommend a wine based on that price range. Also, don't act like you know a lot about wine; that looks too contrived.

7. Don't call out to the sommelier

When you have a question for the sommelier, signal with your eyes, and if the other party doesn't notice, raise your right hand and use your index finger, slightly raised, to attract their attention.

8. Know where to put your napkin

Nowadays, you usually put your napkin on your lap. You can't start eating until the host puts the napkin away. If you have to leave for a while, you can put your napkin on the chair. When you have finished eating, place your napkin neatly on your left hand side without folding it, not on the plate, but wait until the host has finished before you do so.
