Restaurants can be classified in many ways, primarily by the type of food served (such as vegetarian or seafood), the cuisine (Italian, Chinese, etc.), or the style of service (tapas bar, buffet, etc.). Beyond food and service styles, restaurants may differentiate based on factors like speed, formality, location, cost, service approach, or unique themes. Some specific restaurant types discussed include steakhouses, which specialize in beef steaks and chops; bistros, serving modest French home-style meals; pubs, which are drinking establishments that can be community focal points; and pancake houses, specializing in breakfast items like pancakes and omelettes.

primary factors are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the
cuisine(e.g. Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, French, Mexican, Thai) and/or
the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train, a tastet restaurant, a buffet
restaurant or a yum cha restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate
themselves on factors including speed (see sea food), formality, location, cost,
service, or novelty themes (such as automated restaurants).

meat such as roast prime rib, veal, and
often seafood.
4. Bistro

slow-cooked foods like cassoulet, a bean
stew, are typical.
5. Pub

establishment in the culture of
Britain,Ireland,Australia, and Canada.

community. The writings of Samuel
Pepys describe the pub as the heart
of England.

7. Fast food
Fast food is the term given to food that is
prepared and served very quickly, first
popularized in the 1950s in the United
States. While any meal with low
preparation time can be considered fast
food, typically the term refers to food
sold in a restaurant or store with
preheated or precooked ingredients, and
served to the customer in a packaged
form for take out/take away. Fast food
restaurants are traditionally separated by
their ability to serve food via a drive-
through.
