    Café
    If you look up the dictionary, café 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. The word café comes from coffee, and this is reflected in the focus of the management on serving coffee varieties to the customers. Café refers to an establishment where people come primarily to have their coffee. In the US, though, a café means an informal restaurant where food is served, mainly burgers and sandwiches.
    Restaurant
    Restaurant is a French word that refers to places where food and drinks are served to customers. It is a commercial establishment where a customer can not only buy meals, he can also eat these meals in style. The food served at a restaurant is not ready-made and usually prepared and served after a customer orders from a menu. These days home deliveries have also started in restaurants though most people come and sit, waiting for their orders to be prepared and served by waiters or waitresses.

Restaurant

"There is no love sincerer than the love of food." A restaurant is the place that saves us from starving when we are too lazy to cook. People prefer restaurant with attractive premises, good services and subtle background music. Quality of food and standards of hospitality are the prime elements of a restaurant. Tasty food, filled tummies and a bunch of good memories is what we walk out with from a restaurant.
