Top 8 Dining Etiquette
We often get nervous when having formal dining because we think about where to put napkins and when to leave the table.
Ten most crucial dining etiquette that you must follow whenever you are out for dining
Place the napkin on your lap right after sitting down. However, wait for the host to remove the napkin and follow them when you have a formal dinner.
While seated, enter into your chair from the left and then leave your chair from the right.
Continuously sip from the exact place from where you first sip and put the glass back to the same place from where you picked it up.
Keep the rim of your plate as neat and clean as possible. The reason behind keeping the rim clean is to give respect to the staff who will grab the edges of your plate while cleaning.
The bottom of your plate is for the sauces and butter so whenever you are pouring any sauce on your plate, put it on the bottom right. Secondly, the upper left part of your plate is for discards. For instance, if you have bone, you’ll keep that leftover on the upper left part of your plate.
Keep your bread always on the plate unless you are delivering it to your mouth.
Do not wipe the stain. Instead, dab on the stain gently.
Do not immediately leave the table after eating. Instead, wait for some time to catch up and conversate with other people. It is considered rude to leave the table right after completing the meal.
