Sultan Kaleh Pacheh with extra Pizza

It is not just constraint, which forces people to go to a restaurant. Restaurant surfing is an entertainment for some people. In Iran, all dates and meetings of friends are in restaurant. Also many formal appointments are hold in restaurant. So, going to restaurant has some rules, and if you don’t know the rules it makes you some trouble. May be you have gone restaurant with 1000 different persons along your life, but it is not possible to bring every one to that buffet over your street. As the poet says;” every restaurant is not for every man”. From this poem concluded that if you are the one who should choose a restaurant, at first, you should know where the best place to go with your comrade is.

Family

In fact, you are comfortable with your family, so you can find a Cozy and quiet restaurant and go with your wife or parents and give the lady a day off. This place should be a family place, not a busy restaurant which in next table some young boys and girls make a lot of noise playing. Low light coffee shops and busy fast food restaurants are not suitable places for families. Garden restaurants with Iranian foods are suitable. If you have children with you, you should think about them too. Some restaurants have some play ground and also remember that children love pizza and Hamburger.
Etiquette: here you should know what meal you should order. In situations like this no one charge for food except head of family, but if you invited family you should first of all go to the counter for paying. It is not a good idea to struggle for paying and to start haggle loudly, and don’t turn the bill hand in hand, it is bad.

Guys

The most common form of going restaurant is when you and guys (university guys, neighborhood guys, colleagues, etc.) decide to go around and enjoy yourselves. You become hungry, so you are forced to eat. As you are comfortable with your friends so it is not necessary to choose a high class and expensive restaurant. Instead you should think about the size of restaurant according to how many people you are. If you are 10-12 people can not go to a small sandwich bar. When you are many guys, big fast foods restaurants are adequate. If there is a specific restaurant you want to go but it is the small one, before going call the restaurant and reserve the biggest table.
Etiquette: Don’t be shy. Just bad taste buddies order one type of food. Each one can order a different food and share with each other. This is more enjoyable. If dishes of restaurant are big, you can order less food. Instead, order salads and starters. Also, we should note that, it is not necessary to pay for your friends. Forget such third world habits and let every one pay for her/him. So no one will be under pressure. Be sure that no one expects you, to pay for her/him.

Picnic

Sometimes you fed up of being indoor; you are tired of siting at home and also don’t be satisfied by going to a restaurant. Then, you can take your food and go to a park, a green road or some where away from traffic and smoke. For enjoying eating in nature, you should choose a simple food. Don’t gather a lot of dishes, glasses and plates, it just make challenge the housewife. Cold sandwiches are good idea for picnic. If you don’t go far far away, you can buy sandwich and soda for lunch and go to picnic. If barbeque is available, you can cook chicken kebab that is awesome. Today, all supper markets sell prepared chicken with saffron. You just take some coal and skewers.
Etiquette: what is the sin of nature if you want have a happy and funny day? Take some big garbage bag and bring with yourselves all garbage you produced. Remember don’t sleep under a sheet waiting for lunch, all people come to have a nice day, so help each other.

Date

Some how sensitive. It is not temporary; it may be led to a long life. So it is not a good idea to bring her to a cheap and low class buffet. You should spend more, especially if it is your first date; choose a chic, cozy and quiet restaurant.
Etiquette: in each restaurant you selected, you should care about her and respect her. Don’t be nervous, don’t get menu and read it long time, at first give it to her. If you are the lady, don’t be so excited, why always he should pay. After one or two dates, now is your turn to pay and invite him. If you are the guest, you are not worthy to order the most expensive food in the menu, you should be somehow self-possessed.

Formal appointment

In addition to entertainment, restaurant is a good place for meetings and formal appointments which you can not hold it at home or office. For example, when you want to visit the father of your future wife, or want talking with your boss about some personal issues (or gossiping about colleagues). The best way for fixing such appointments is choosing a high class and chic restaurant. It is ridiculous when you are in suit and used perfume, decide to go somewhere with a dirty servant serve you dirty junk food.
Lobby and restaurant of hotels are suitable places for this purpose, because they are quiet and not crowded and you can speak easily without a time limit and if your conversation took along two hours, no one would ask you to leave the table. Busy restaurants, even chic and classy are not suitable places for such meetings.
Etiquette: don’t eat with hurry. Remember that you come here for talking not eating. Maybe it is difficult, but eat slowly. Noting bad will happen. If you can not control yourself, at least don’t order your favorite food. After meal, order something like tea, for sitting there more.
