Speaking Test Part 2:

Model Answer:

The restaurant I enjoyed going to was called "Chez Henri," which is a popular French restaurant located in the town centre. I dined out there one evening with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday.

The restaurant had a wide selection of traditional French dishes you could order a la carte, but it also offered a set menu which was really good value for money. I ordered the set menu with onion soup as the starter and coq au vin as the main course. Coq au vin was one of their specialties and it’s a dish made with chicken stewed in red wine. I remember that the chicken was lovely and tender. I also had an appetiser and my friends and I also had a salad as a side dish as we were obviously hungry!  Because we were celebrating we also ordered a few bottles of the house wine to share.

What made the restaurant stand out was not only the delicious food but also the ambience and the impeccable service. The interior was nicely decorated, and there were white tablecloths and expensive looking cutlery on the tables. The waitress who served us was super friendly and attentive, and made the experience really enjoyable. As it was my birthday, I decided that the dinner was on me, but my friends left our waitress a pretty big tip at the end, so she was very happy.
