Dutch term or phrase: proeverij
Part of a menu. Guests are given the choice between a few starters and one is called "Proeferij de XX" followed by: "dit is een selectie uit onze voorgerechten"

Does anyone have a creative solution for this one?

Explanation:
assuming that XX is the name of the Restaurant: "XX Special" / "XX Medley" (a selection of our starters). Since it is followed by an explanation, you could even leave it in Dutch (italics).

In the US, this might be called an \"appetizer tray\" (analogous to a \"dessert tray\"). \"Starter tray\" might work.
