Restaurants, one
Restaurant is a business establishment that serves food and beverages to the public. The first restaurants operated along roadsides, where travellers stopped to rest and to restore their energy. The word restaurant comes from the Latin word restaurare, meaning to restore.
Today, restaurants may be found almost everywhere–on quiet streets and busy roads; in hotels; in airports, bus stations, and railway stations; in amusement parks; in office buildings; and also in shopping centres.
