This isn't a bad menu. The only thing I would worry about is buttter or excessive fats (cream sauces), but the use of those differ from one kitchen to another.
Over all, a healthy menu.
In my opinion, order what most appeals to you, then leave half on your plate.

personally I'd go for the tomato & goats cheese
couscous
and have your chocolate cake, but eat half of it!
