Have you made your choice? - I'll have the onion soup as a starter, and I would like the raclette as a main please. - I don't know yet... I don't want a starter, only a main. What do you recommend [to me]? - Our Three Cheese Salad is very nice and quite filling. - Perfect, I'll have that, thank you. - And also two hot coffees, please. - Very good! I'll be back with your coffees.

Clever stuff happening!
