Hi,
Does someone know what the official term is, if any?
As I understand it, a "late plates menu" is one that is served in hotels after regular hours (typically from 8.30pm).
I had thought of "menu tardif" or "menu nuit", or maybe "menu retardataires", but none of these are satisfying.
What do you say?
Thanks in advance.

restauration tardive
une proposition inspirée de ce qui se fait au Novotel
"En arrivée tardive à l’hôtel, le temps d’un repas d’affaires, à l’occasion d’une rencontre festive ou lors d’un séjour en famille, les hôtels Novotel proposent toujours une solution simple et adaptée pour se restaurer 24h/24"

: Problem with this is that it quite probably ends around 10 or 11 pm so it's not really a "night service"

: From Asker's given context, this does NOT sound like a 'room service menu'. / Even with the original context, the EN does not suggest room service. I hope my comment might be of use to future users of the glossary.

Sans le contexte, c'était ce qui me paraissait évident ! D'ailleurs le demandeur a pris sa décision il y a plusieurs jours !

Collation après le service (du soir)
Suggestion
Note from asker:
| Super ! Merci, vous m'avez donné une piste, et je crois avoir trouvé sur plusieurs sites : c'est "collation nocturne". Je pense que je vais retenir cette formulation. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Tony M
: I feel sure this is more the sort of formulation we'd use in a professional catering context; my only concern is if 'collation' might say too much about the actual dishes served, as it would tend to in EN (e.g. cold things!)

J'aime bien "retardataires" c'est avec une pointe d'humour.
Le terme Novotel est pas mal car très ouvert "restauration" ne dit rien sur le cadre (dans le restaurant, en chambre....) ni sur la forme (menu, plats indépendants...)
Comme le dit Tony, il n'y a pas de traduction officielle ...
Cela dépend des hôtels et aussi de leur nombre d'étoiles.
