In Commonwealth English, an entrée (also known as a 'starter') is a smaller course that precedes the main course. It is more substantial than hors d'œuvres and better thought of as a half-sized version of a main course. It comes from the French word entrée (entry) and, as such, it literally describes a meal's first dish. Restaurant menus will sometimes offer the same dish in different-sized servings as both entrée and main course.
