jídelník

Jídelníček is a Czech word that translates to "menu" or "meal plan." It refers to a list of food items available for selection or a predetermined schedule of meals. In a restaurant context, a jídelníček displays the dishes offered, often categorized by type such as appetizers, main courses, desserts, and beverages. It typically includes descriptions of the food and prices.

Beyond dining establishments, jídelníček can also signify a structured plan for eating over a specific period, such as a daily, weekly, or even monthly meal schedule. This usage is common in contexts like dietary planning for health, institutional catering (e.g., schools, hospitals), or for individuals following specific nutritional guidelines. A jídelníček in this sense outlines what meals and snacks will be consumed, ensuring a balanced intake of nutrients or adherence to a particular diet. The term emphasizes organization and provision of food.
