Using Sensory Images: Restaurant Reviews

Learning how to spice up your descriptive writing, with help from The Times and a student-written review.

By Katherine Schulten and Jeremy Engle

Our new Mentor Text series spotlights writing from The Times that students can learn from and emulate.

This entry, like several others we are publishing, aims to help support students participating in our Fifth Annual Student Review Contest . Each spotlights both a Times review and a review written by a teenage winner of one of our previous review contests.

For even more on teaching with reviews, please see our related unit plan .

At El Molcajete, the tacos look like bouquets, brimming with cilantro, loosely bundled in paper sleeves twisted tight at one end and gaping at the mouth. They are heavy with meat: hanks of shredded barbacoa, dark and caramelly cecina, cabeza more a stage of melt than flesh.

So begins Ligaya Mishan’s review of a “humble” place in the Bronx that cooks for the neighborhood and seeks no publicity.

But if you read her piece, you may find yourself heading to Westchester Avenue to find it, so vividly does Ms. Mishan describe the suadero and the sauces, the tacos and the tostadas.

Each week, The New York Times reviews a variety of dining experiences , from food carts to the most famous and expensive restaurants in the world. You’ll find not only distinctive and memorable takes on a wide variety of foods and cuisines, but also rich descriptions of the entire dining experience, including service, décor and ambience. No matter what they are reviewing, however, these writers are trying to engage your senses.

Below, we’ve selected several mentor texts — one by a student and several from Times food critics — to show how honing your adjectives, metaphors and similes can make your readers feel as if they are there with you at the table, biting into something interesting.

Before You Read

Think of a memorable dish you’ve had, whether delicious or awful. It could be your breakfast or lunch from today, a recent restaurant order, something your grandmother makes for you every time you visit, or that chocolate cake you had on your 10th birthday.

Now, take five minutes to describe the dish in writing in as much detail as you can — but without naming the dish, or even the cuisine, if you can avoid it. Later a partner will guess what you’re describing.

As you write, try to:

be so specific that listeners who have not had the dish feel they can see, smell, taste and maybe even touch it.

make your description fresh, even if you’re describing something everyone has eaten a thousand times. Don’t lean on clichés; instead, try to pin down exactly how the food engaged your senses.

Next, choose a partner and take turns reading your descriptions aloud. Then, debrief together:

Were you able to guess each other’s foods? How, if so?

What are some of the best sensory words and phrases you both came up with?

Between you, how many different aspects of these meals did you mention? For example, did either of you talk about the ingredients, the appearance, the texture or the price?

Student Mentor Text: “ China Canteen: A Humble Shrine to the Sichuan Kitchen ” by Emily Tian

Next, read a winning student restaurant review from our 2018 contest, chosen here for its vivid descriptive language and inventive use of metaphors.

Here is just one paragraph from it:

The Sichuan fish is electric. Filleted tilapia simmers under a blistery rain of peppers. Its spice-bombed fragrance, lightened by bean sprouts, infuses the room; our neighbors turn to ask us what we ordered.

What would the paragraph lose if, instead, it read like this?

The Sichuan fish is excellent. The tilapia is covered in peppers. Its heavy fragrance makes the whole room smell.

Ms. Tian’s piece shows the kind of vivid writing and word play that made us choose her review as a winner. As you read, notice the profusion of sensory details by underlining all of the sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes you come across. Here is the piece in its entirety:

China Canteen, off Hungerford Drive in Rockville, Maryland, is known to its Chinese customers as 老四川: Old Sichuan. The restaurant has planted itself on the border of a nondescript strip mall for eighteen years — old indeed for an area where restaurants surface and sink in droves. Between the inked horse paintings and specials handwritten in sloping green Expo, the restaurant wears its age plainly. Chinese parents and kids are seated in cracked maroon booths, deftly breaking apart bamboo chopsticks and pouring steaming cups of tea. Even our broad-shouldered Hispanic server has waited tables here for over a decade. He takes our party’s orders in Mandarin. We first try a traditional dish, 夫妻肺片, which translates literally to husband-wife-lung-slices. It’s not really lung, the menu coaches us, but the marriage of thinly sliced beef tendon and chili oil, constellated with peanuts, is nevertheless a breathless one. The Sichuan fish is electric. Filleted tilapia simmers under a blistery rain of peppers. Its spice-bombed fragrance, lightened by bean sprouts, infuses the room; our neighbors turn to ask us what we ordered. To the chef’s credit, milder dishes don’t erode against the numbing ones. I find myself reaching again for the pi pa tofu: silken tofu beaten with shrimp then gently fried. The size of a toddler’s fist, each ball is soaked in a delicate broth of shiitake mushrooms and bok choy. For $17.99, we share a platter of tea-smoked duck, which arrives wreathed by sprigs of green onion and airy buns painted with sweet bean paste. As with many Chinese joints, however, the bowls of white rice have become something of a chef’s shrug. And skip the scallion pancakes: the cumbersome dough all but smothers the pale ringlets of scallion. Lunch specials will set customers back $7.99, but they sport none of the traditional plates that charge the rest of the menu. The restaurant is run by two brothers and their father, all from the Sichuan Province. Mr. Yu, the younger brother, who greets regulars and recommends dishes to new diners with a Buddha-like warmth, says they have no plans for renovations. Every three years, they’ve renewed their license; if business is decent, they see no reason to change. Of course, it might not be so simple: Along Rockville Pike alone, China Canteen must train its steady firepower against nearly-translucent soup dumplings, A&J’s dense, chewy noodles, and sunny, Instagram-happy newcomers like the pan-Asian food hall, The Spot. But the Yu brothers brush those thoughts aside. For now, they’re most comfortable in the kitchen, braising fish, cubing duck blood, dicing chicken, slicking the wok with red oil and peppercorns. And I, for one, am not looking for anything else.

What details stood out? How does your own description from the Before You Read activity compare to the words and phrases that this student reviewer uses?

Times Mentor Texts

As you saw in the student review above, a good piece will make you feel as if you’re having the experience too, whether it’s in a cracked maroon booth in a nondescript strip mall in Rockville, Md., or while witnessing the “ stunning production ” of eating at French Laundry in California, where servers bring out gold-rimmed dish sets and place them down in unison.

Rather than quote just one review, we’ve chosen some evocative paragraphs from pieces on a range of cuisines and restaurants.

Capturing the atmosphere and ambience of a dining experience:

“ A Taste of Home for California’s Punjabi Truck Drivers ,” by Tejal Rao

The rotis were flawless, king-size rounds. Each one was thin and even, freckled with char and shimmering. The dough had been rolled and cooked to order, so the rotis came out hot and supple, stacked on a paper plate alongside deli containers of dal and a few plastic spoons. It was a modest-looking setup. But if you were tired and bleary-eyed from the road, like so many of the drivers who parked their big rigs in the lot behind Punjabi Dhaba, it was a luxurious break from fast-food chains and gas-station snacks.

“ Nigerian Street Food and the Full Power of Spice at Brooklyn Suya ,” by Ligaya Mishan

There are three levels of heat in the spice rubs at Brooklyn Suya, starting with mild, which is in fact hot. Not too hot, just enough to open the pores and bring a faint sheen to the skin. It’s the next level up that slows you down, insists you take your time and pause every few bites. The highest level says stop. The mouth turns to kindling. A small sun is born. “Are you sure?” the woman behind the counter said doubtfully when I requested the highest. “Me, I stick to the lowest.”

“ California’s Luxury Dining Circuit: Delicious and Dull ,” by Tejal Rao

At times, overwhelmed by the opulence, I felt like a character in a sci-fi movie who had sneaked onto a spaceship for the 1 percent, now orbiting a burning planet.

Describing the food:

“ A Stand-Up Example of Sit-Down Pizza ” by Pete Wells

The crust is so tender it barely fights fork, knife or teeth. Some diners will wish it put up more crackly resistance. You inhale it at least as much as you eat it. When you have finished, some of the most popular pizzas in town will seem tough, leathery, overworked. Even if this is not the style you crave, you’ll know that it’s the work of a baker who has spent years listening to the dough. There is a place for people who are as obsessed with pizza as Mr. Mangieri, and the place is New York City.

“ Sichuan Food, Bracing and Measured, in Brooklyn ,” by Marian Bull

At Birds of a Feather in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a bowl of slippery, feather-light pork won tons in chile oil has a red ring suspended around its edge that, to the spice-averse, may look like a warning. But the heat arrives gently, the oil used sparingly in a special sauce that’s more sweet and tangy than it is fiery. The chef, Ziqiang Lu, sprinkles the dish with a confetti of stir-fried dried chiles ground together with rattan peppercorns, a type of green Sichuan peppercorn so floral that it smells as if it’s in the process of blooming.

“ Where Dessert Is Much More Than an Afterthought ,” by Tejal Rao

At Birdie G’s, this fat, enchanting rose-petal pie was a real beast of a slice, wobbling exuberantly, but it wasn’t nearly as sugary, or as voluptuously floral, as it first appeared. It was architecturally sound, built on a salty, roughly textured crust. And it had a restrained, mellow flavor, carefully tempered with acidity.

Describing an extraordinary experien ce: Sushi Nakazawa

“ The Student Does the Master Proud ,” by Pete Wells, is about one of the very few restaurants The Times has rated “extraordinary.”

Behind the counter of Sushi Nakazawa, the chef is nothing like the movie’s humble stepchild. He laughs, he jokes, he handles live animals. One evening he held out a tray of sea urchins, their spikes groping the air, and asked each of us to choose one. The tiger shrimp he set down on white plates another night had more energy. With a flick of its tail one jumped up in front of a woman at the counter’s end. She jumped even higher. Another customer, more game, picked up the shrimp just above its wriggling legs, pointed toward his mouth in pantomime (Mr. Nakazawa is learning English), and asked the chef, “What is the best way?” The best way is to wait until Mr. Nakazawa yanks off its head, strips its shell and drapes the raw shrimp over a cushion of rice. Everything is gently pressed over rice, in the two-century-old Edo style of sushi that Mr. Nakazawa respects and refines.

Now Try This: Using Mentor Sentences

If a critic simply writes, “The tacos look tasty,” what is she telling us? Tasty how? What about their presentation makes the writer think they would be good? What does “tasty” mean, exactly?

Compare that with the sentence that begins this lesson, from Ligaya Mishan’s review of the restaurant in the Bronx. Can you picture what she’s showing you? Does it make you hungry?

At El Molcajete, the tacos look like bouquets, brimming with cilantro, loosely bundled in paper sleeves twisted tight at one end and gaping at the mouth.

How could you borrow and adapt this structure to describe a dish you are eating? Try it. You might write, “At [name of restaurant], the [dish] looks like [comparison],” then describe how in as much detail as possible.

Then, have a meal and take notes on everything, from the way the host greets you to when the check arrives. What are you seeing, hearing, tasting and experiencing? If you are doing this in a classroom context, you might consider going together to the school cafeteria to write about today’s lunch.

You can use mentor sentences like these, borrowed from the texts above, to construct your own. You might use the same structure, or just include the same elements.

For example …

Here is a mentor sentence from our student reviewer for capturing the atmosphere of the restaurant:

Chinese parents and kids are seated in cracked maroon booths, deftly breaking apart bamboo chopsticks and pouring steaming cups of tea.

To write your own, observe who is in the restaurant and what they’re doing. What details of what is on or around the table reveal something important, the way “cracked maroon booths” do here?

Here is a mentor sentence for describing not-so-delicious food:

And skip the scallion pancakes: the cumbersome dough all but smothers the pale ringlets of scallion.

To adapt this, just steal the opening (“And skip the [whatever dish wasn’t good]”:), then carefully choose your descriptive words the way this writer did (“cumbersome”; “all but smothers”; “pale ringlets”) to make us see — or taste, or smell — why.

Finally, here is a simple but effective mentor-sentence structure for describing a notable chef or other interesting member of the restaurant staff — or even a fellow customer.

He laughs, he jokes, he handles live animals.

What three things does someone in your restaurant setting do that shows who they are, how they add to the experience, or what the place or the food is like in general? For example, you might describe a fellow diner this way: “She smacks, she gnaws, she mops up every bit of food on her plate and still asks for more.”

Or, find your own! Which sentences from the reviews you have read offer you something you’d like to try?

More Mentor Texts for Using Sensory Language

Think only restaurant reviews use vivid sensual description? Take a look at these reviews of technology, dance, sculpture and fashion.

Times Review: In “ The Rebirth of New York Fashion ,” a 2019 fashion review by Vanessa Friedman.

Thus the doors opened at the far end of the room, and a wave of models flowed out — every one in the show — expanding to fill the space with color and movement and joy. They swirled past the audience en masse like a kaleidoscope of butterflies, and then reappeared one by one, each a singular character of Mr. Jacobs’s imagination: a woman in a long, golden bias-cut gown; in a short explosion of petals; in a perfectly cut gray trouser suit, fedora perched jauntily on her head. A woman in newsboy stripes and a feather boa; in gangster plaid; in a knit lunch suit covered in sequins.

Student Review: “ The Functional Art at Your Fingertips ,” a winning technology review from our 2018 Student Review contest by Simon Levien.

Fujitsu went with Topre key switches, lightly tactile rubber domes making each key a cushion. Typing is like pleasing pitter-patter, a sound fondly dubbed the Topre “thick-thock.” I’d say it feels like punching a pillow, soft but quick — perfect to add some oomph to your typing speed and stamina.

Times Review: “ Misty Copeland Leads the Charge at Fall for Dance ,” a 2019 dance review by Gia Kourlas.

Wearing a gold leotard under a gossamer tunic by the talented designers Reid Bartelme and Harriet Jung, Ms. Copeland shimmered as if in a cloud. Her arms rose and fell as she retreated to the back of the stage and, for a brief moment, undulated like a swan’s wings. As she glided across the stage, advancing with spins that came to sudden stops or extending a leg to the side in développé, her progression through the steps could be read as an unwavering journey, refined and forthright.

Student Review: “ Rashid Johnson’s ‘Stranger’ and the Desire to Be One ,” a winning art review from our 2017 Student Review contest by Amaya Oswald.

Beginning with three massive, metal-wired structures, the first room of the experience excellently captures Johnson’s personal identity; each cage-like framework embraces bottle-green African plants tangled in the metal, attempting to escape their containments. Jutting out from the wire shelves lie books about the African-American experience in the United States, and propped in the center of the wire cage are timid yellow heads carved with African shea butter with crosshatched mouths and deep, sad eyes. The fusion of these many native African materials and diverse art forms serves to create a vibrancy and richness emphasized by being confined in one room. This arrangement is shocking against the barren English brick walls of the exhibition room and makes the structure feel especially alien.

Student Review: “ 432 Park Avenue — A Splinter in the Sky ,” a winning architecture review from our 2016 review contest by Gabriel Gonzalez.

Towering over established landmarks, it impudently demands attention, claiming its height as a verification of superiority. However, it doesn’t take much digging to reveal that the skyscraper’s design was inspired by nothing other than a trash can. Yep, that’s right. New York City has its very own trash can in its skyline. The can in question was designed by Josef Hoffman, and sports the same blocky, square design of the tower — without all the glass. Instead of using rectangular windows, or a tower cloaked in glass, the architect decided to go with square windows that look out of place on the slim tower, and make it appear as if it were composed of gray Lego bricks. The choice of square windows makes the building appear squat, giving passer-by a confusing image of an anorexic giant that seems uncomfortably compressed.

Vega, New York

Reviewed yesterday

Great mains, pity about the chips

Came for lunch with my sister. We loved our Thai-style mains which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive for a vegetarian restaurant.

But the service was below average and the chips were too terrible to finish.

When we arrived at 1.40, we had to wait 20 minutes while they got our table ready. OK, so we didn't have a reservation, but the restaurant was only half full. There was no reason to make us wait at all.

We ordered the chips as a side dish and they looked delicious. But, when we tasted them, they were overcooked and swimming in oil so we left most of them. We expected a lot more for $10!

When the waiter asked if everything was ok, we said we really didn't like the chips and he said 'That's funny, I love them' and that was it. He didn't offer us anything else or take them off our bill. Also, when we didn't leave a tip, he looked annoyed.

I was really excited about visiting Vega, and the mains were just fantastic, but the rest of the experience was really disappointing.

• Use an informal or semi-formal style.
• In the title, give the main idea or opinion.
• Write about the important parts of the experience, not every detail.
• Organise your ideas into paragraphs.
• Write about the good and the bad.

Have you ever had a bad meal in a restaurant?

Delicious food, shame about service.

Me and my family came for dinner. We loved our  Butterfly Burger mains, which were so amazing and tasted so good!

However, the service was quite slow and not the best experience.

We had to wait for the table for around thirty minutes after we got there.

The price was too expensive, costing a whooping £11.50 for just the burger, and that doesn’t include any drinks.

I would recommend if you like delicious food, I would give it 4 stars.

I loved the mains, but the side order was oily. Me and my sister, we had to wait for at least 30 minutes, we knew that we don't have a reservation, but there were just 5 costumers. The service was good, but the side order was swimming in oil. 

Recently we visited an spanish restaurant where in theory offered a good meat dishes.

I asked for a ribeye medium rare, but they brought the meat rare.  I ate the meat thinking that at the end the flavour would be great but it didn't.

I have one situation,when I went to the cafe and I order cheese cakes,but when waiteress put me my dish I saw that the plate has finger marks and I asked that she take me new one,replace meal.After I had new dish and I was very satisfade myself that not agree for less.

I had a bad experience with one cafe. I came with my sister and we ordered coffee, green tea and some desserts. Staff was not friendly and looked to us annoyed. When drinks arrived my sister try a green tea and it was so bad. It taste like a cheapest green tea in the world in my opinion. But price was too expensive for one cup of regular green tea. Coffe and desserts also was not very tasty. Staff saw we are not satisfied with food and they was just didnt care. I was shoked about it because its very popular mains cafe in my city. I leave a negative respond in google maps, cause i never had such a bad expirience

The last week I tried a cute coffee shop near my house. I think is my favorite place to get a coffee and peace time. First, the place was very nice with fall decorations. Second, the service was kind and fast, they explained me so clear somethings about the menu. Also, the food arrived really fast and the Chef walked to my table to give my food (I felt so special). Finally when I check the bill, I was in shock because was cheap. It was best bacon Sandwich I have ever eaten!

A good recommendation doesn't become a good meal! I can't say I have had a bad meal in any restaurant but I had a bad experience in a one Michelin Star Restaurant recommended by a good friend. That day, enjoying a walk around where the restaurant were located, my husband and I decided to ask for a reservation that night, but the chef told us it where all fully booked. Well, hours later, when we where going home, we saw the restaurant almost empty and we came in to ask why he told us they were all booked. The chef, invited us very annoyingly to leave the restaurant without any explanation. Next day in restaurant's web we leave a review saying what happend. The chef answered us in the same arrogant attitude, without any acceptable explanation.

I went with my sister, my mom, and my uncle to an ice cream place; it was great inside, Mario and Luigi drew and a lot of decorations, so we sat, but we needed to wait for 30 minutes there without any attention, so we decided to left the site, the person that was working there asked us why we were leaving the place, but we didn´t say anything and we went off that place without a word.

Mexico restaurant, Fukuoka

The interior design is great, the food and service are terrible. When I visited Fukuoka city with my girlfriend for the first time, we tried Mexican food for the first time in our lives. We both thought the restaurant looked great and its dishes must be delicious. So we ordered 4 dishes, and all looked so cheap even though they were expensive. I think they use instant food, instead of cooking real dishes. They also took table fees and service fees too. I don't think it is reasonable to take such a fee.

Restaurant Essay: Review & Evaluation of a Restaurant, Topics, Prompts

It might be quite an unusual topic to write about. Don’t worry, we will explain how to outline your work and advise what you should and shouldn’t do.

In this article, we will tell you how to write a restaurant review essay. We have prepared some tips, a list of topics, writing prompts, and three essay samples. You will also find the FAQ section at the end of the article. Let’s begin!

🍽️ Restaurant Essay. Writing Tips

Here are some valuable tips on restaurant essay writing. Use these hacks to save your time and nerves and make a perfect writing piece.

Start a Restaurant Essay with Research

Research essays of other scholars and professional critics’ reviews. Based on the discovered information, decide what kind of essay suits you the best. Also, research the restaurant that you will describe in the paper.

Here are the things you need to consider:

• Vocabulary. Notice the specific language that appears in this type of writing. Make a small glossary and search for the meaning of frequently used words.
• Structure. Probably, you need to write a descriptive paper. Research its structure and observe how others implement it in long and short essays.
• Critical thinking. Everything you have found needs evaluation . Not all of the information is relevant. And more importantly, not all of the sources are worth your attention.
• Your notes. Make sure you include all the ideas you’ve found for your restaurants essay.       

Be Objective in Any Kind of Essay about Restaurant

Sure, the paper should reflect your opinion. But don’t make it a Google review. You need to support your thoughts with solid argumentation and evidence.

Follow these tips to be more objective:

• Use exact numbers. For example, instead of “many,” write the number or percentage.
• Write in the third person. Unless you have other instructions, avoid using the word “I” and such statements as “I believe,” “I think,” or “in my opinion.” But if your topic is “My favorite restaurant,” or you do a review based on your experience , it is okay to make it first-person.
• Don’t use words that can exaggerate your writing. Such terms as “very,” “really,” “never” are better to avoid.
• Support your statements with facts. If you express a thought, prove it with credible sources.

Outline Your Restaurant Essay

You need an outline to create a roadmap to your restaurant essay. It is also useful when it comes to planning your time and the content of the paper.

• Introduction. Explain the focus of the paper and provide background. Introduce the questions that you will answer in the following paragraphs. Don’t forget to make the last sentence your thesis statement. It will be a summary of what you will describe in the body of your essay.
• Body . The content of body paragraphs depends on the type of paper. For example, in an argumentative essay, each passage presents a separate argument. Let’s suppose you write an essay about your favorite restaurant. Describe these aspects separately: cuisine, interior, and service . Add details and analyze them.
• Conclusion. Summarize the main points of your essay and synthesize the information. Restate your thesis and don’t introduce any new information.

Here are a few samples of essays on restaurants and cuisine. Use them as references for your future writing. You can also find some inspiration or ideas in the passages.

Restaurant Review Essay: Modernity in the Heart of Brooklyn

Modernity is a contemporary experimental restaurant located in the heart of Brooklyn. A blue neon sign which blinks from time to time attracts your attention immediately. This restaurant is a good place for people who look for the unusual interior, interesting food, and fast service . The restaurant looks like a futuristic mix of bright colors, unusual furniture, and futurism. There are two floors, a bar on the first floor and tables of different sizes and shapes on the second floor. The walls are decorated with abstract paintings, pictures of aliens and UFOs, and small neon signs like the one above the entrance. The staff wears uniforms that remind space suits. Light techno music and static sounds are playing. The restaurant is consistent with its name. The menu might seem confusing when you first open it. Such dishes as “Martian’s brain” or “Unicorn’s milk” turn out to be pumpkin soup served with colorful bread and a milkshake. I ordered a dish called “Jupiter on vacation” and a “Weightlessness” drink. They brought me a chicken bowl with blue seasoning that reminded Jupiter and a dark cherry drink with zero calories. Modernity is a place where you can try amazing food, but it is pretty simple in taste. As soon as I arrived and chose a table, a smiling waiter gave me the menu. I just had to press the “Emergency evacuation” button to see him again and place my order. They brought it in five minutes, which is quite fast for a restaurant full of visitors. The waiters and waitresses seem busy and going from one part of the restaurant to another. I recommend visiting Modernity at least once to see the way it looks and enjoy the service. It is a place where every detail is conceptual and exciting. If you are looking for a restaurant where you can take some photos and enjoy a creative atmosphere, Modernity is a good choice.

A cafe called Cliff is not far from where I live. You might not even notice it in the surrounding trees; however, this is what makes Cliff worth visiting. I love this place because of its qualitative coffee and meals, beautiful location, and service. They serve specialty coffee, which made me their regular customer. Its taste is a perfect mix of bitterness, chocolate flavor, and a bit of sour aftertaste. I am a big coffee lover, so this café impressed me. Cliff also offers twenty different deserts that are an excellent match to a cup of coffee. Some of them are vegan options; that is why anyone can choose a treat for themselves. You can also order a sandwich or a salad here, and the food is always fresh. Their approach to nature deserves respect. The café’s outside area looks like a small park with tiny chairs, tables, and benches. If you ask for a blanket or bring your own, you can enjoy your meal sitting on the lawn in a comfortable position. Cliff is a ten-minute walk from my apartment, so I often go there to study surrounded by these beautiful trees. The interior combines brown and grey colors; most of the objects are made of concrete and wood. The waiters and baristas are cheerful and always ready for a small chat. They help me with my choice and complete the orders fast. Cliff also has quite a fast Internet connection. That is the reason why I regularly see at least ten freelancers working there constantly. The music that plays there is not too loud, but you can still hear it from any spot. Cliff looks clean and neat, that is why I enjoy every minute I spend there. There are many good coffee shops in the area, and this one is worth your attention. Try this place if you enjoy nature, polite service, and a peaceful atmosphere. Choose your favorite coffee drink and a small dessert to dine in the garden.

I don’t visit restaurants so often because my father is a chef. He has been in the culinary sphere for more than 20 years, working in an Italian restaurant. I prefer eating at home to eat as delicious food as in restaurants, hone my culinary skills, and spend more time with my family. Every meal my father cooks at home is a product of his professional approach and good taste. He even creates his dishes and invites us to try them. He changes recipes, experiments with flavors and seasonings, and describes everything he did while we were testing the dish. I feel like a famous food critic each time I try to guess the ingredients and the way of cooking. The next thing I love about eating at home is cooking. I enjoy spending time in the kitchen, even though I know I will not do it professionally one day. My dream is to become a software engineer, but good cooking skills are always a benefit. Having such a teacher as my father, I am sure my culinary skills become better each time. We buy groceries, cook, eat, and clean up together. It is like a small ritual that became a tradition in our family. That is far more than just visiting a restaurant to me. We don’t wear fancy clothes, stand in a queue or make reservations, and spend as much time as we want together. We find it more convenient since we have fun and don’t have to go anywhere. Eating at home can be a better experience than eating in a restaurant if you enjoy cooking. There are so many things to explore. You can try different cuisines, experiment with recipes, and teach each other. If you haven’t tried such time spending, I highly recommend it!

How to write a restaurant review.

The Association of Food Journalists: How to Write a Review 

The goals of a critic should be to be fair, honest, to understand and illuminate the cuisine about which he or she is writing. A critic should look beyond specific dishes and experiences and attempt to capture the whole of a restaurant and its intentions.

4 stars : Extraordinary. The standard by which you judge other restaurants. 3 stars : Excellent. Great food, wonderful atmosphere, good service, all around wonderful experience. 2 stars : Good. A solid example of a particular kind of restaurant (e.g., sushi, Italian, and so on). 1 star : Okay. The restaurant did one thing well. Perhaps one dish was delicious, or the restaurant had a fabulous waitstaff, or you enjoyed the atmosphere. Still, you’re not going to hurry back to a 1 star restaurant, but you would go again. 0 stars : Poor. Nothing about the restaurant made you want to return.

The Actual Writing

1. hook the reader with the first sentence, 2. make it personal.

“In How To Eat  I thought aloud about food, shared my enthusiasms and prejudices and tried to explain how and why I cook any one dish at any time. It is an intensely personal book: any authentic collection of recipes is in part autobiography; and in my case, many of these recipes were a kind of memorial to the food cooked by my mother, Vanessa, and my sister, Thomasina.”

3. Be Objective

Wow, great post.

So look good. Thanks you!

Glad you liked it! :-)

Because of the number of bots leaving spam I had to prevent anonymous posting. My apologies. I do appreciate each and every comment.

• Writing a Restaurant Review: 10 Tips and Examples

Writing an informative and engaging restaurant review doesn't have to be difficult. Learn how with these 10 tips & examples.

Writing a restaurant review can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. With the right tips and examples, you can easily craft an informative and engaging review that will help potential customers make an informed decision. Before you start writing, it's important to do a background investigation. Visit the restaurant as a customer, not a reviewer, and take in the atmosphere.

Then, inform readers immediately that your review contains useful information and is worth reading. Open the review with an attractive line that promises an interesting reward (whether delicious or dreadful). To provide a complete overview of a restaurant's menu, eat a full meal on your initial visit, including an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Your review should include the variety of offers, prices and the amount of food you receive for what you pay.

Use specific details to relate food quality, such as ingredients, spiciness, texture and appearance. To help you remember the experience later, consider taking pictures of your meal as an easy reference. Most professional critics visit a restaurant more than once to get a balanced view of what to expect. Not only is it important to correctly describe the food, but you need to understand the details of the restaurant.

Once you are aware of the essential points you should include, you can submit a well-structured and organized restaurant review. When writing your review, make sure you're very descriptive and detailed. It's a personal review, so emphasize your own writing style. To help you speed up the process and help your business, here are some good examples of restaurant reviews that you can copy and paste. When the online review system was introduced, restaurants and other businesses also improved their quality and service to get more positive feedback from guests. If you have visited a restaurant several times and only once have had a bad experience, be sure to write it down in your review.

Also, definitely don't write a bad review while you're at the restaurant instead of talking to a manager about a problem that may have arisen, be it a rude waiter or a cockroach. While the main purpose of a restaurant review is to persuade readers to visit (or avoid) a particular food establishment, it is also a valuable exercise in using sensory details to stimulate readers' interests and appetite. A good restaurant review can point you to your new favorite place or help you avoid a gastronomic disaster. Also, don't write a review of a place you went to a year ago just to increase your review count in search of some kind of imaginary influence online. By understanding the key elements that need to be included in the review, you will have an enjoyable restaurant review experience and hopefully provide valuable consumer information. Compare it to the phrase that begins this lesson, from Ligaya Mishan's review of the Bronx restaurant: "A restaurant with personal and talkative waiters...should be portrayed differently in your opinion than an establishment with quick and sensible employees".

The restaurant has been planted on the edge of a nondescript shopping mall for eighteen years - in fact for an area where restaurants surface and sink en masse. A good restaurant review advocates for the needs of potential customers and provides feedback that companies can use to improve or evaluate their service. So, your opinion will not reflect the typical experience that someone can expect to have at that restaurant - so it defeats the whole purpose of writing a review in the first place. Writing a restaurant review is not only fun but also helps others make informed decisions about where they should dine out next. With these tips and examples in mind, you'll be able to craft an informative and engaging review that will help potential customers make an informed decision.

Vera is a Senior Content Writer at a Singaporean lifestyle publication, ConfirmGood where she covers stories on all things food, lifestyle, and perspectives.

Throughout my career as a content writer at various lifestyle publications in Singapore , many a time have I been tasked to write a review for a restaurant .

A review of a restaurant is incredibly important to the business. Given that 94% of diners refer to reviews before making a decision to eat somewhere, the power reviews have to sway the consumer’s decision is immense.

Having been in this profession for a while now, I can safely say that I’ve seen my fair share of good and bad examples of restaurant reviews. And boy, do I have something to say!

But before I go into the details, let’s start with the basics. How should you structure your restaurant review article?

Restaurant review format

1) lay the table.

Just as how you’d set up the table in preparation for every meal, you need to set up your article in preparation for your readers’ eyes.

Provide some background information about the restaurant, its owner(s), and what it specializes in. Check out the opening paragraph of our Carne Burgers Singapore Review : 

The reader is immediately hit with some key facts that establishes the restaurant as a reputable business. If a sustainability-focused restaurant run by a Michelin star chef doesn’t entice you, I don’t know what does.

A well-written introduction is essential as a hook to capture your reader’s attention right from the being and keep them engaged til the end of your review.

2) Start serving your mains

Now that you’ve invited your readers to the table, it’s time to show them what the restaurant has to offer.

A majority of the body of your restaurant review should showcase the best dishes the establishment has to offer. Check out what we showcased in our Seoul Garden a la carte menu review .

As a buffet restaurant, Seoul Garden has a wide selection of cooked and uncooked food items on its menu. But we only featured the most popular and best-looking items. And these are the Wagyu Picanha and Salmon slices.

You should always feature the best items that the owner wants to feature and take good pictures of them ot feature in your restaurant review. The first impression always counts 👀

Some things that should be in in this part of your review include what the dishes are, why you ordered them, and what makes them great. Describe the sight , smell , flavours , and texture of the dishes you’re reviewing. You’ll be surprised by how effective these descriptive paragraphs can be in selling the restaurant.

Quick tip 💡 Prepare an arsenal of words you can use to describe food so you can easily pull them out to use in your article.

3) Wrapping things up

End off by summarizing why you enjoyed (or did not enjoy) the food. I’d strongly recommend adding some quirky final thoughts to leave your readers with a cute aftertaste. 

You can look at what I wrote for my review on Restaurant Salt.

Tips on writing great restaurant reviews

1) learn from the best restaurant review sites.

As with learning any new skill, look at what others have already done. 

A great source of restaurant reviews are lifestyle publications. They are generally divided into different sections like travel, finance, and food. ConfirmGood’s food blog showcases some of the best places to it in Singapore.

Check out the various articles we’ve put out to learn how to write great restaurant reviews. Learn the vocabulary, structure, and writing style.

2) Look at Tripadvisor and Google restaurant reviews

This one may come as a surprise to some of you. Why would you want to refer to reviews left behind by random people? After all, these aren’t professional food writers . What’s there to learn from?

If you take a look at the list of reviews you see on such sites, you’ll notice that some of these reviews are exceptionally well written. You can pick up pretty useful vocabulary from them. I guess some people really take writing reviews on Google really seriously 🤣

Another reason why you should look at restaurant reviews is because you get to learn about what is important to a customer. Perhaps being led to the table properly is important to some. To others, it’s really just the quality of the food. See what pops up most often and take note of it.

If a restaurant hires you to write a review about them, you should include these factors in your article when promoting the business.

3) Take the best photos

Taking great pictures of the food you are reviewing is absolutely necessary. Words alone cannot do the job of convincing your readers to eat at a particular restaurant. 

Humans are visual creatures and well-taken shots of the restaurants’ best dishes can help sway your readers’ decision.

4) STOP USING “DELICIOUS”, “GREAT”, “GOOD”

Expand your food vocabulary.

If you want to write great restaurant reviews, you can’t describe that flaky pastry that oozes creamy custard fulling as delicious.

You aren’t doing the melt-in-your-mouth tender steak any justice by calling it amazing.

So just stop ❌

Again, refer to the article I listed above for some good examples of words and phrases you can use to describe food.

5) Include the restaurant’s story

A restaurant is more than its menu.

It’s also about its history, its owners’ histories, culture, and even purpose.

Establishing the restaurant’s story in the introduction of your review can help pique your readers’ interest in the place.

6) Pay attention to cultural nuances

To add to my previous point, you should always be mindful when writing about food.

Do not refer to dishes as ‘ethnic’, ‘exotic’, or worse, ‘oriental’.

Food carries with them the long history of struggle and achievements of the culture which they are from. You need to be respectful of that.

7) It’s ok to not like the food

You don’t have to lie when writing restaurant reviews.

This may even cause the restaurant to receive harsher negative reviews as they were overhyped by your article. So don’t be afraid to be honest about how you find their food. Just don’t trash them unnecessarily. 

You’re all set to start writing an awesome restaurant review !

Those are my top 7 restaurant review writing tips. I hope you’ve found them useful. Becoming a food writer is not going to be easy. But this article is a great start for you!

Ai or not ai a student suspects one of their peer reviewer was a bot, how to summarize a research article, loose vs lose, how to cite a blog, apa paraphrasing, my favorite restaurant: rivenee’s essay sample, example.

As a child, I was not fond of eating out. My family would eat at a restaurant, diner, or buffet at least once a week, often more than once. Every time we went anywhere, but for a little place called Rivenee’s , it was a challenge for my parents to find proper food and a nice atmosphere. Rivenee’s was that lucky exception—I loved the place and this made my parents love it too. The restaurant seemed magical and fascinating to me when I was an elementary school kid, and surprisingly, the place still fascinates me today. Recently, when I visited my old family house for Thanksgiving, I was astonished and pleased to find out the place still operated and, in fact, was still run by the same family. Apart from the house in which I grew up, Rivenee’s is probably the dearest place to me in the small town, just outside of San Ramon, where I was born and raised.

Rivenee’s is a small and cozy place, and this is what probably garnered my love of the restaurant initially. This, and the people who worked and still work there. Unlike more spacious restaurants, diners, and chain buffets my parents also took me to, Rivenee’s was a family-owned business run by a middle-aged couple, Janette and Derek. When I think about them now, I still remember their warm smiles and sincere care for each customer and employee. Mrs. Jan, as I would call her, loved orange shades, both in her outfits and in the restaurant’s interior decor. Warm orange and yellow-pomegranate furniture, sunny-colored napkins and curtains, country-style hard wooden tables and stools at the bar—everything was solid and comfortable about the place. Mrs. Jan would always have orange in her outfit— to match the place, as I then thought. Be it a bright orange ribbon in her hair, or a peachy neat cotton dress, or red nail polish—this woman belonged to the place like nobody else, and I doubt it was only the external resemblance.

Her husband Mr. Derek was older, with graying hair and a miniature mustache, which made him look a bit strict to me at the time. But the moment he started talking with his deep, soft, and half-laughing voice, with that particular tender frog-in-the-throat vibe, he would make me listen to his every word with an open mouth. The man was like a magician to me: mysterious and a bit scary even, yet so fascinating and magnetic. There was his daughter as well, the first love of mine. She was a blonde pony-tailed girl of 7 or 8 with cute bangs, lively, and active. She would be running around the place, attracting the attention of visitors with her sonorous laughter that made you laugh in return, or at least smile back at the small, sunny creature cruising around the place.

When I visited Rivenee’s after all these years, the memories flashed back through my mind in a heartbeat, and I suddenly felt like a child again. The place was still an illuminating planet of orange and light, yet comfortably relaxing and pulsating with fresh energy. I instantly felt like I was home, and a big bouquet of freshly cut wild daisies, neatly tied with an orange ribbon made me think of Mrs. Jan. The food tasted the same—crispy and puffy home-made corn bread was my favorite part of the meal then, and it tasted like it did in my childhood to me now. My parents still eat at Rivenee’s from time to time, still order their favorite specials and enjoy the evening with Mrs. Jan and Mr. Derek, remembering the good old times.

Descriptive essays seem to be a piece of cake in terms of the writing process. What can be easier than just telling about your experience? However, there’s a fair share of challenges. Finding the right epithets and comparisons can be hard sometimes. That’s why many people turn to best essay writing help service reviews in search for websites that can help them find the right words.
