Which menu offers a dining experience where guests pay a standard fee that covers multiple courses?

The prix fixe menu is designed to provide diners with a cohesive dining experience at a set price that includes several courses, usually an appetizer, main course, and dessert. This type of menu simplifies the dining experience, as guests have the opportunity to enjoy a complete meal without making individual price decisions for each dish. By paying a standard fee, they are often offered a selection of dishes which would typically be more expensive if ordered separately on an à la carte basis.

A course-by-course menu typically presents dishes one at a time, potentially leading to varying prices depending on the selections made, and thus does not ensure a fixed cost. An à la carte menu allows customers to choose individual items from the menu, resulting in variable pricing that can lead to a higher overall meal cost than a prix fixe option. An exclusive menu might imply specialty items or limited availability, but it doesn't inherently suggest the multi-course dining experience or fixed pricing characteristic of a prix fixe menu.
