Hello students! Let's learn essential German phrases for ordering at a restaurant. It's simpler than you think!
To see the menu, say Die Speisekarte, bitte. (the menu, please). To order, use Ich hätte gern... (I would like...) or Ich nehme... (I'll take...). For instance, "Ich hätte gern das Schnitzel." or "Ich nehme ein Wasser, bitte." (a water, please). When finished, simply ask for the bill with "Die Rechnung, bitte." (the bill, please).
Be confident and practice! Every small step helps. Enjoy your meal!
