How to Write Restaurant Reviews

Not only can writing restaurant reviews be an enjoyable experience because you can try all sorts of different foods, it can also be a creative way to express your opinion. There are a number of different rules to follow when writing a quality review. It is important that you understand how to determine the quality of food as well as the restaurant.

The following list highlights a number of tips on how to write a restaurant review:

1. Restaurant Selection: Pick a restaurant that you find interesting and make a reservation. Make sure that it is food that you normally eat and like.

2. Restaurant Features: When you dine at the restaurant, note the decor, atmosphere, wait staff, kitchen staff, parking, cleanliness, other diners, and location.

3. Write Review: Right after dining, find a place to write a review.

4. Describe your Impression of the Style and Decor of the Restaurant: This includes color scheme, decorations, themes, and seating arrangement. Describe the arrangement of the table. Also, you should discuss the exterior of the restaurant. Is it in an accessible location? How was the parking? Was the exterior attractive?

5. Dicuss the Patrons and Staff. What types of people were dining at the restaurant? (Professionals, families, informal diners) Was the staff helpful and nice? Did you have to wait long to receive your food? Did you have to wait long for a server?

6. Discuss the Food: What type of food does the restaurant serve? (Italian, Mexican, Fast Food… etc.) Provide a few of the different foods they offer as well as the cost. Was your food the right temperature? How did the food taste? Was it fully cooked? Was the plate of food appealing to look at? What did you like? Was there anything you did not like? Was the food mushy or have a nice texture? How fresh was the food? Did the food have a nice aroma? Was the review worth the price you paid? The food must have the most words in the review.

Arabic Coffee

Ah coffee! The aroma of the coffee being roasted in the open markets and sold as it’s going out of style. Hand roasting not only took place in the coffee houses, but also at homes in the long handled cast iron roasting pan with an attached flattened spoon long enough to reach the roasting beans to stir and constantly release this addictive aroma. You have not had coffee unless you have had it roasted for you by hand, ground then boiled to perfection for that ultimate cup of coffee. From the brewing pot, the urn used for serving it to the crafty and various looking cups used. So whether you are at the market, home or attending whatever occasion, engagement, wedding, graduation, the birth of a child, a holiday, or fast visiting for a “Sahra,” a gathering to socialize. All of these occasions, visits, or events are accented with indulgence in coffee drinking, or sweet minted tea, fresh fruit and snacks. The ultimate hospitality of a Middle Eastern home is having coffee “on” and serving it all the time. Have you heard of Coffee Arabica, or the Origin of the Bean? Of course it is the Middle East where coffee was originally discovered. In these parts of the world, coffee and it’s multiple ways of roasting, brewing, and serving it, coffee is drank in the liters from early in the morning to the late hours of the night, which goes without saying as farmers are early risers and are customarily to bed by midnight. Remember that early afternoon siesta helps a lot.
