Dining Etiquette
• Dining etiquette is formal and table manners are important.
• Graciously accept wine or beer when offered by your host.
• Remain standing until invited to sit down.
• Wait until your host says "bom appetito" to begin eating.
• The fork is held in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.
• Your hands should be visible at all times. Never rest your elbows on the table.
• Your napkin remains to the left of your plate while dining, not in your lap.
• When you have finished your meal, place your napkin to the right of your plate and lay your knife and fork parallel on your plate, handles facing to the right.
• Always leave some food on your plate.
