Episode #53 Hungry? Types of restaurants In Big Cities

Miglio<br />Hey, this is Robert on this English podcast. And today we're talking about types of restaurants. I'm sure you guys go to restaurants every now and then. Let me know in the comments if you do, and which ones do you like to go to? So there are various types of restaurants, and if you are learning English as a second language, you might want to know the names or the types of these restaurants, because when your hunger takes over, you literally go blind, right? So you don't want to be doing that and not knowing where to go. So let's get started with the types of restaurants. So here are the common types of restaurants in most cities. <br />The first one I go with is fine dining.

If you go to eat in one of these restaurants, you might come out actually hungrier than before. You might have to go home and knock yourself a sandwich because fine dining often means very little, very tiny, sophisticated food. <br />Next one is casual dining. Casual dining types of restaurants usually share the following characteristics the customers are served at their table.<br /><br /> Food offerings are moderately price. Atmosphere is low key, so you don't need to worry about dressing up or keeping your voice down when you're speaking. Decor is often unique and based on the type of food served. As a general rule, casual dining restaurants fall between the fine dining and fast casual on the fancy spectrum. Okay, so next is fast casual.<br /><br />Fast casual restaurants cater to customers who are looking for fare that is relatively quick, yet at the same time healthier than fast
