How Many Courses Do You Have in a Restaurant?

Usually just starter and main.

It really does depend on the restaurant and the portion sizes tbh. If it’s a new place to us we generally swerve the starters, have mains and depending on the size might have a dessert if we’re still ‘hungry’.

I either order just a main or a starter and a pudding.
Have never really been a 3 course diner unless is a set menu and then I choose my options carefully because I have GERD. Usually end up giving the dessert to someone else.

We went out for a meal at the weekend, no-one in our group had a starter. The main courses were substantial, I couldn't finish mine but everyone ordered a pudding.
Then I couldn't sleep because I had terrible indigestion.

One course would definitely have been enough. Unless it was the extra glass of wine which was bought for me, I didn't want it but it would have been rude not to drink it.

A friend of mine often has a starter and a pudding with no main. I do like a starter, but these days tend to go straight to the main and see if there's room for the pudding when I've eaten it.

Quite often I have two starters then, maybe a pudding. Three courses absolutely floor me these days.

Just the main course for me. If I have a starter I wouldn’t be able to finish the main meal. Haven’t ordered a sweet in a restaurant for many years, I don’t have a sweet tooth.
