The

article may

a worldwide
view of
the
subject. (June
2014)
A restaurant is
a business that
prepares
and
serves food and drinks to customers.[1] Meals
are
generally
served
and
eaten
on
the premises,
but
many
restaurants
also
offer take-out and food
delivery
services.
Restaurants
vary
greatly
in
appearance
and
offerings,
including
a
wide
variety
of cuisines and service models
ranging
from
inexpensive fast-food
restaurants and cafeterias to
mid-priced family
restaurants,
to
high-priced
luxury
establishments.

Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark,

stars
in
the
Michelin
guide,
and
named Best

in
the
World by Restaurant
Restaurant
guides review restaurants,
often
ranking
them
or
providing
information
to
guide
consumers
(type
of
food, handicap accessibility,
facilities,
etc.).
One
of
the
most
famous
contemporary
guides
is
the Michelin series
of
guides
which
accord
one
to
three stars to
restaurants
they
perceive
to
be
of
high
culinary
merit.
Restaurants
with
stars
in
the
Michelin
guide
are
formal,
expensive
establishments;
in
general
the
more
stars
awarded,
the
higher
the
prices.
The
main
competitor
to
the
Michelin
guide
in
Europe
is
the
guidebook
series
published
by Gault
Millau.
Its
ratings
are
on
a
scale
of
1
to
20,
with
20
being
the
highest.

In
the
United
States,
the Forbes
Travel
Guide (previously
the
Mobil
travel
guides)
and
the AAA rate
restaurants
on
a
similar
1
to
5
star
(Forbes)
or
diamond
(AAA)
scale.
Three,
four,
and
five
star/diamond
ratings
are
roughly
equivalent
to
the
Michelin
one,
two,
and
three
star
ratings
while
one
and
two
star
ratings
typically
indicate
more
casual
places
to
eat.
In
2005,
Michelin
released
a
New

City
guide,
its
first
for
the
United
States.
The
popular Zagat
Survey compiles
individuals'
comments
about
restaurants
but
does
not
pass
an
"official"
critical
assessment.
Nearly
all
major
American
newspapers
employ food
critics and
publish
online
dining
guides
for
the
cities
they
serve.
Some
news
sources
provide
customary
reviews
of
restaurants,
while
others
may
provide
more
of
a
general
listings
service.
More
recently
Internet
sites
have
started
up
that
publish
both
food
critic
reviews
and
popular
reviews
by
the
general
public.
