    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.

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