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.
