What to say after a meal
After a meal, there a number of different things you can compliment. For example, the host, the taste of the food, the variety served or the talent of the person who prepared it.
If you want to compliment your host, you can say:
The lunch was outstanding!
We had a great time, thank you.
Thank you for having us. We loved the dinner.
To acknowledge a good meal and comment on the taste of the food, you can say:
What a fantastic meal!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
That was a delicious meal.
It was a very satisfying meal.
If you like something, you might want a 'second serve' or 'another helping'.
