This type of menu often appeals to patrons who are unfamiliar with the cuisine offered by the establishment. It is an excellent
way to introduce the new patron to fine dining as perceived by the establishment. Another
advantage of this type of menu is the limited number of entrees that must be produced. These
menus can combine wine selections with each course, further enhancing the dining experience,
especially for those hesitant to order wine. Very often à la carte and table d’hôte menus are combined.
Even quick-service restaurants use value menus that bundle components.
