Service à la française (French: [sɛʁvis a la fʁɑ̃sɛːz]; "service in the French style") is the practice of serving various dishes of a meal at the same time, with the diners helping themselves from the serving dishes.

In service à la française, the dishes, at least in each course, are arranged spatially but presented to guests all at once. In service à la russe, the dishes are arranged temporally, i.e., served in succession, one after another. Plus the dishes are all offered to the guests by waiters, not passed by the guests.

In the more formal style of French service, a server presents a dish of food individually to each guest and the guest helps themselves onto their plate. Sometimes the food will be pre-cooked in the kitchen and finished off at the table in front of the guests.
