An entire meal of several courses offered at a fixed price is known as

• A. A la Carte
• B. Table d'hote
• C. Buffet
• D. Prix fixe menu

Answer: (B)

Table d'hôte describes an entire meal that includes several courses offered for one fixed price. It’s a set menu where the courses are predetermined or offered as a small selection, and you pay one price for the whole experience. This differs from à la carte, where you pick individual dishes and pay for each item separately. A buffet involves guests serving themselves from a display of dishes and paying for the meal in a different way, not a single bundled price for a fixed sequence of courses. While a prix fixe menu also involves a fixed price, the term “table d'hôte” specifically emphasizes the complete, multi-course meal bundled into one price, which is exactly what the question describes.
