Restaurant
A restaurant is an establishment that serves prepared food and beverages to be consumed on the premises. The term covers a multiplicity of venues and a diversity of styles of cuisine. Restaurants are sometimes a feature of a larger complex, typically a hotel, where the dining amenities are provided for the convenience of the residents and, of course, for the hotel to maximise their potential revenue. Such restaurants are often also open to non-residents.Many guides have been written over the years describing the best (and often the worst) places to eat. One of the most famous of these is the Michelin series of guides which accord from 1 to 3 stars to restaurants they perceive to be of high culinary merit.
A special restaurant is the dining car in long-distance trains. Travelling long distances it offers more luxury than eating brought-along food in the train, while it saves time compared with eating in towns along the way. Also, compared with other restaurants, the ever changing views of the countryside enhance the pleasure of the dinner.
