What are the differences between fine dining restaurants and cafes?

Answer 1

I believe that it is the quality of food and service that makes the two different. Cafes normally serve cheaper food than the fine dining restaurants. Cafes are usually for informal, quick and affordable snack food while fine dining restaurant isn't. Here's a piece of advice. You can try them both and see it for yourself. =)

==============================================================================

Fine dining, as the name suggests, offers patrons the finest in food, service and atmosphere. Fine dining caters to an upscale clientele and provides the highest quality of food. A fine dining restaurant has a formal atmosphere and a fancier menu than most restaurants. They offer wine lists, and sometimes sommeliers, to help you with your food and wine pairing. It's a place for some romantic dinner, while a cafe offers a light, casual environment, sometimes outside, to sip on drinks and eat lunch or snacks. It is also more casual and not too classy, there's no dress attire that needs to be followed. Here's a great sample for a fine diningg resto: http://www.mott32.com/home/

Answer 2

A kitchen only prepares food. It may be part of a restaurant and the food is then served there. Otherwise the food from the kitchen is transported over distances and sold in industrial cafeterias or even in other restaurants.

The term kitchen as a stand alone term is often used to indicate the preparation of food on a large scale.

Answer 3

a fine dining restaurant is fancy and could be more expensive than a cafe. a fine dining restaurant is usually used for dinners and a cafe could be for breakfast or lunch because it is more casual and the food is not like steak or ribs. its plain and simple at a cafe.

========================================================================================

Cafe is defined as a type of restaurant that has an enclosed serving place but mostly having an outdoor section to let customers enjoy their coffee and snacks in the open. While fine dining resturants are a commercial establishment where a customer can buy meals and eat it in style. The food served at a restaurant is not ready-made and usually prepared and served after a customer orders from a menu.

Answer 4

A Diner is typically more of a family location, a homely setting. A Cafe is usually a place where small groups of people or loners come to spend some time. Oftentimes, Cafes have outdoor settings while Diners have inside seating. Diners can be small to medium sized (seating 75 - 150 people) while cafes remain small sized (~50 people). Hope that helped you!
