Wikipedia
À la carte
In restaurants, à la carte (; lit. 'at the card') is the practice of ordering individual dishes from a menu in a restaurant, as opposed to table d'hôte, where a set menu is offered. It is an early 19th century loan from French meaning "according to the menu".
The individual dishes to be ordered may include side dishes, or the side dishes may be offered separately, in which case, they are also considered à la carte.
Examples of use of À la carte
1. "They go à la carte." Some supplements steer diners toward more fully realized meals.
2. There are only two choices per course, making it harder to ignore the more imaginative à la carte dishes flirting from the sideline.
3. The policy applies to all vending machines, school stores and snack bars, à la carte lines, fund–raisers during the school day, and after–school programs.
