It is a menu offering a complete meal with limited choices at a fixed price. Also known as prix fixe, it offers a meal consisting typically at least one appetizer, soup and/or salad, a main entree and a dessert. There may be a choice of any or all of the courses, usually limited to two or three choices for each course.
