Background

Restaurants as a place to sit and eat probably existed in ancient times (Egypt, Greece and Rome). A restaurant is known to have operated in Tokyo in the mid-17th century, but restaurants as they are known today appeared in Paris in the 1760s-1770s and were called "restaurants" (food that strengthens), hence their name in English Restaurant.

Restaurants can be divided according to the style of cooking: Chinese, Italian, French, Middle Eastern, etc.
According to the price: luxury restaurants (chef restaurants), street restaurants, etc.

Some restaurants have become famous thanks to a dish they invented, such as Alfredo’s restaurant in Rome, where fettuccine Alfredo was born .

Other restaurants have become famous not only because of the food they serve, but mainly because of their appearance in films or plays (or perhaps because they appeared in films because of their popularity). Such is Katz’s Delicatessen in Lower Manhattan, where a famous scene from the movie "When Harry Met Sally" (the fake orgasm scene) was filmed

Old, historic restaurants have sometimes been immortalized as institutions that the city is proud of, as in Barcelona , and Madrid
