Best Answer

An à la carte menu is one where the diner selects the individual courses separately from the biggest variety available. This type of menu is typically more expensive than set menus, where the selection of courses is more limited, such as table d'hote menus, prix fixe menus, buffets, daily specials, blue plate specials, and chef's specials.

What purpose of ala carte?

A la carte dining is so the diner can order exactly what he or she likes. Instead of ordering a meal that comes with side dishes, the side dishes (ie, vegetable, starch) are ordered separately, so the diner can order those which he or she most likes, and not get stuck with something they don't.
