Bistro	Originating in Paris, bistros are small neighborhood restaurants, usually specializing in (but not limited to) French home-style cooking. They mostly serve simple, reasonably priced meals in a cozy, casual setting.
Ethnic restaurant	This style of eatery specializes in a cuisine related to a particular nationality, using ingredients and cooking techniques that belong to that specific culture. Among the most widespread are Chinese, Greek, Italian, and Mexican. The majority of ethnic restaurants are independently owned and situated in big cities or areas with vibrant immigrant communities.
Fine dining restaurant	The highest rated type of restaurant, often characterized by elaborate menus, attentive service, and sophisticated decor with crisp white tablecloths.
Pizzeria	As you would have thought, a pizzeria is an establishment where pizza is baked and served. In Italy, where they originate, you’ll find two different types of pizzerie – one is a traditional sit-down restaurant, which may also serve wine, salads, and pasta dishes; and the other one, born in Rome, is some sort of bakery or take away joint selling pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice).
Drive-in restaurant	– Though not so popular nowadays, drive-in restaurants refer to classic American establishments where customers order and eat their food while sitting in their cars.
Drive-thru restaurant	– Slightly different than a drive-in, a drive-through or drive-thru restaurant allows clients to place the order at a microphone, and then drive to a window where they pay and receive their food. Major fast food chains like McDonald’s and Burger King often offer drive-through service.
Fast casual restaurant	– A new breed of eating establishments, where the food and service are slightly more upmarket than fast food, yet lower than casual dining. Chains like Chipotle, Panera Bread, or NYC’s Shake Shack fall in this category.
Diner	A casual sit-down American restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Taking inspiration from the old rail dining cars, their typical retro design often includes neon lights, leather clad booths, and long counters running the length of the interior. Diners frequently stay open 24 hours a day (especially those along the highways) and serve classic American fare such as burgers, sandwiches, fries, and pies.
Café	Ranging from casual neighborhood hangouts to trendy establishments, the café is probably the most common eating establishment out there. Also known as coffeehouse or coffee shop, it first appeared in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in the 17th century, and has served as a social gathering place ever since. While focusing on coffee and other hot beverages, frequently they also offer pastries, cakes, and other light meals/snacks. The menu varies greatly from country to country.
Fast food	Synonymous with McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, fast food restaurants distinguish themselves through the speed of service, convenience, and affordability. They are normally part of major international chains or franchises, and feature limited, not-so-healthy menus, usually consisting of hamburgers, French fries, pizza, and soft drinks. In the last few years, though, some fast food restaurants have begun to focus more on millennials, cutting fat and artificial ingredients, and offering higher-quality options such as gourmet tacos and made-to-order pizzas.
Buffet-style restaurant	– A self-service facility where various types of food are displayed on counters/tables. Most buffet restaurants are all-you-can-eat affairs where customers are charged a flat rate, but the concept has several variations depending on which country you are in.
All you can eat restaurant	Eatery where customers pay a fixed fee and then serve themselves to as much food as they wish to eat. They usually feature multiple food stations, with everything from salads to hot items and desserts.
Cafeteria	This can be either a restaurant in its own right or an eating facility within an institution (school, hospital, workplace). In a cafeteria, there is little to no staff, so people have to serve themselves from the selection of ready-cooked food available.
Steakhouse	– A restaurant specializing in grilled prime cuts of beef (strip, rib eye, tenderloin). Most of the times, the menu will also include veal, pork/lamb chops, and roasted chicken, plus good wines and a variety of side dishes.
Dark restaurant	This is a relatively new and unusual type of restaurant, where patrons eat in complete darkness, often served by blind waiters. The concept of dining in the dark is meant to awaken the other senses through the elimination of sight.
. Food court	A collection of small restaurants or fast food stalls sharing a common eating/seating area. Also known as food halls, these are usually located in shopping malls and airports
Food truck	A licensed vehicle equipped with a kitchen to cook and serve food at temporary sites. Unlike the average hot dog carts or taco wagons, these restaurants on wheels travel on their own power and are packed with more sophisticated cooking appliances, providing a superior street food experience. Focusing on limited, yet inventive dishes at reasonable prices, gourmet food trucks are a growing trend all over the world.
