Nonsense about Japan

In Japan, a similar practice is referred to as teishoku (定食?). This has a fixed menu and often comes with side dishes such as pickled vegetables and miso soup.[3] Typical prices can range from 800 Yen to 1500 Yen.[4]

"Teishoku" has nothing to do with fixed price menus, this is pure babbling. A restaurant which serves a variety of dishes might also serve "teishoku", eg. ramen teishoku at ramen restaurant. JoshuSasori (talk) 05:06, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, in Japan the equivalent is "course menu." Teishoku is simply a set served on a single tray. It has nothing to do with Table d'hote. "Course Menu" is offered by many restaurants in Japan and is a sequence of dishes served one after the other for a fixed price - EXACLTY what table d'hote is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.15.64.15 (talk) 22:07, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Misleading

I expected this article to inform me about the French equivalent of Bed & Breakfast establishments, instead I get an article which appears to be very US-centric. Doubt if this qualifies as NPOV. Semudobia (talk) 08:50, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

If this article were US-centric, it would be called "prix fixe", not "table d'hôte" - a term I've never seen or heard in 10 years of living in the US. -- Dandv 10:38, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Usage in France?

I'm not an expert in French but I know this part is not correct: " In the original sense, its use in English is attributed as early as 1617, while the later extended use, now more common, dates from the early nineteenth century. This meaning is not used in France.[1]"

Citation #1 links to an OED page, now defunct.

But I have a card from a Parisian restaurant, L'Os à Moelle, which uses the phrase "Table d'hotes" and I know from being there that this means a set menu. In fact you can see this usage on the restaurant's website, linked here.
