How to Say ‘Would you have any special menus at the moment?’ in French
Auriez-vous des menus spéciaux en ce moment ?
oh-RYAY voo day muh-NOO spay-SYOH on moh-mahn
[oh-RYAY voo day muh-NOO spay-SYOH on moh-mahn]
💬 Usage Tip: Auriez-vous means "would you have", a gentler version of Avez-vous "do you have". Flipping the verb and vous around a hyphen makes it a polite question: Auriez-vous une table ? "Would you have a table?"
🇫🇷 In France: In France, special menus are rarely pushed on you. They're often only chalked on a board or mentioned if you ask, so asking when you book is perfectly normal.
