Distinction between restaurants and bars serving food and alcohol

Despite the fact that they share a name, restaurants and resto bars are not the same thing at all, despite the fact that the former are becoming increasingly popular in metropolitan areas.

Restaurants

Fine dining takes place almost exclusively in the setting of a restaurant. The atmosphere tends to be slightly more formal, and although families are welcome at most of the restaurants, not all of them serve alcoholic beverages. Restaurants typically sell a variety of foods belonging to a variety of cuisines, while other restaurants focus on serving just one style of food exclusively belonging to one certain cuisine and sell only that. The atmosphere at a restaurant is typically one that is quiet and collected, and there may be some live music or music that plays on the speakers. There is a large selection to choose from, beginning with salads and moving on to appetisers and ending with desserts. There are many different kinds of restaurants, including fine dining establishments that put an emphasis on the ambiance, as was just discussed. There are also some casual restaurants that do not place a significant emphasis on the atmosphere but rather place a greater emphasis on the food. There are also several fast food restaurants that either don't have any seating at all or have very limited space, but they solely offer parcel services.

Resto Bar

A resto bar is considerably different. The focus of a resto bar is on the sale of alcoholic beverages; the menu is secondary. In most cases, the dishes served are meant to complement the alcoholic beverages. In recent years, even resto bars have been providing customers with a broad selection of dishes originating from a number of international cuisines. A restaurant bar is characterised by its dim lighting, loud music, and presence of a dance floor where customers can groove to the beats being spun by the DJ. Due to the fact that alcohol is the primary item sold in a restaurant bar, the minimum age to enter may range anywhere from 18 to 21 years old, depending on the laws of the state. These are the most important distinctions that can be made between a restaurant and a resto bar.
