restaurant
Public eating place
A restaurant is an establishment where meals are prepared and served to customers.
Unlike a café or bar, a restaurant's primary business is food rather than drinks.
Restaurants range from fast-food chains to fine dining, and the word covers everything from a neighborhood diner to a Michelin-starred establishment.
We're meeting at the new Italian restaurant downtown.
