Portuguese term or phrase: ENTRADAS E APERITIVOS
Tradução de um cardápio de restaurante do português BR para o inglês, na qual tenho dúvida no termo "aperitivos".

O texto possui, um segmento antes, informações sobre um "couvert", que eu já traduzi como "appetizer", daí a dúvida em relação aos "aperitivos" na linha seguinte. Pensei em "hors d'oeuvre", mas não sei se, com isso, entende-se o que quero transmitir.

Trata-se de um cliente direto que não providenciou glossário, por sinal...

Obrigado pela ajuda de antemão!

Explanation:
Ou simplesmente "starters" ou "appetizers" somente, já que são palavras que tendem a se referir à mesma coisa.

neutral  philgoddard: An aperitif is a drink, which I would expect to appear elsewhere on the menu or on a separate one. I doubt that this is the meaning.

An entrée (/ˈɒ̃treɪ/, US also /ɒnˈtreɪ/; French: [ɑ̃tʁe]), in modern French table service and that of much of the English-speaking world, is a dish served before the main course of a meal. Outside North America, it is generally synonymous with the terms hors d'oeuvre, appetizer, or starter. It may be the first dish served, or it may follow a soup or other small dish or dishes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrée
