I’ll order a bottle of wine if you don’t mind (якщо Ви не проти).

Here it is.

Thanks. What shall we order?

Let’s sit near the window.

I don’t like fish. I prefer hamburgers. That is the speciality of the house.

I’d like to eat fried fish and boiled potatoes, cucumber and tomato salad, a cup of coffee and a cake.

Tastes differ. I always prefer fish to meat. What shall we drink?

I don’t mind. We’ll see everybody from this place.

That will be great!

Give me the menu, please.
