"Quiero..." and "Voy a tomar..."

At a restaurant, you can order food in several ways:

Quiero... (I want...) — simple and direct

*Quiero el menú del día.* → I want the set menu.
*Quiero una ensalada.* → I want a salad.

Voy a tomar... (I'll have...) — slightly more polite

*Voy a tomar el plato principal.* → I'll have the main course.
*Voy a tomar una sopa de entrante.* → I'll have soup as a starter.

Para mí... (For me...) — casual and very common

*Para mí, el pescado.* → For me, the fish.

Menu vocabulary

A typical Spanish menu has these sections:

Entrantes → starters — *ensalada, sopa, jamón*
Platos principales → main courses — *paella, carne, pescado*
Postres → desserts — *flan, helado, fruta*
Bebidas → drinks — *agua, vino, cerveza*

The menú del día is a fixed-price set meal (usually 10-15 euros) that includes a starter, a main, dessert, and a drink. It is very common for lunch in Spain.

Example: "De entrante, voy a tomar la sopa. Y de principal, el pescado." → "For starter, I'll have the soup. And for main, the fish."

자주 하는 실수

~~¿Puedo ver el menú?~~
¿Puedo ver la carta?
El menú usually refers to the set menu (menú del día); la carta is the full à la carte menu
~~La comida es deliciosa~~
La comida está deliciosa
For temporary states like taste, use estar, not ser
~~Quiero el postre de chocolate~~
De postre, quiero el de chocolate
When ordering by course, use de postre to specify the course
~~Reservar una mesa por dos~~
Reservar una mesa para dos
Use para (for), not por, when indicating the number of people
~~La propina es incluida~~
La propina está incluida
Included is a state/condition, so use estar, not ser
~~Quiero un botella de agua con gas~~
Quiero una botella de agua con gas
botella is feminine, so it's una botella, not un. (con gas = sparkling, sin gas = still)
