A restaurant menu is a list of food and drink items offered by a restaurant. It typically includes descriptions of each item, along with prices. Menus can vary widely, from simple ones with just a few items to extensive ones featuring multiple courses. They help customers decide what to order and can reflect the restaurant's theme or cuisine, such as Italian, Mexican, or Asian. Menus can be presented in various formats, including printed paper, chalkboards, or digital screens. Some restaurants also offer specials or seasonal items that change regularly. Additionally, menus may cater to specific dietary needs, featuring options for vegetarians, vegans, or those with food allergies.
