Ordering food at the restaurant

Ordering food at the restaurant in the Russian language. Short dialogue.

Ordering food at a restaurant in the Russian language, it’s not always so easy task. Sometimes it needs a special vocabulary to explain what you want. However, by practising the key phrases, you can learn a lot.

You’re going to listen to small talk. Line A is a speaker 1 and line B is a speaker 2.

Going to a restaurant is an event that happens to all people, and most likely there will be a conversation with a waiter or other staff. Therefore, in the dialogue, you will have the opportunity to learn all the necessary vocabulary regarding visiting a restaurant. For such a conversation, you need to know how to order a certain food, ask for a menu, and find out the details of the order, as well as the name of the dish that you liked. In this dialogue, you can learn various vocabulary that will help you ask the waiter for a menu, say that you are ready to order, as well as voice the names of the dishes that you would like to order.
