Hello dear students! Today, we'll learn how to politely order food in German cafés or restaurants. The essential phrase for this is “Ich hätte gern...”
“Ich hätte gern...” translates to “I would like...” or “I'll have... please.” This is a very polite and widely used expression for ordering in Germany. For example, you can say, “Ich hätte gern einen Kaffee.” (I'd like a coffee, please.) or “Ich hätte gern eine Pizza.” (I'd like a pizza, please.)
It's that simple! Just add your desired item after this phrase. Memorize it, and ordering will be very easy. Enjoy your meal!
