What is the purpose of a restaurant review?

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.

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. Ask reviewers for permission to first post their comments on your restaurant's website and social media. The job of a food reviewer is to accurately convey the taste, texture, smell and presentation of a restaurant's food. Writing a restaurant review is a great way to share your enthusiasm for a favorite restaurant or to warn potential diners about a particularly disappointing experience.

If you don't claim your listing on restaurant review sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp, someone else will take control of them and could damage your image. A good gastronomic review puts the reader at your table with you, allowing them to decide whether or not they want to visit the restaurant when they have finished reading. But it seems to me that restaurants that specifically say they cater to vegetarians have a better variety and quality of food than the main restaurant with the “symbolic” vegetarian food.
