• ⁠To the left of the plate from left to right: starter fork, fish fork, meat fork.
• To the right of the plate, from right to left: soup spoon, starter knife, fish knife, meat knife.
• ⁠In front of the plate: dessert fork, dessert spoon, cheese knife.
• Top left of the plate: bread plate and butter knife.
• Top right of the plate from left to right: Water glass, red wine glass, white wine glass and just behind the champagne flute.
