NYC Table Notes

The new language of prix fixe

A concise guide to courses, supplements, and choosing the right experience.

A prix fixe menu is a promise: a restaurant has shaped the pace, the choices, and the value of the meal before the guest sits down.

Cours shows what each course includes, which choices carry a supplement, and whether a card or deposit is required. That clarity makes it easier to compare experiences without reducing restaurants to price alone.

Look first at the number of courses, the available choices, and the time you want to spend. The right menu is the one that fits both your appetite and your day.
