According to urban academic myth, the first restaurants emerged in the wake of the French Revolution. From the very beginning, in the elegant salons of the latter days of the Ancien Régime, the design of restaurants has been closely related to ideas of how food should be presented and how it may be consumed in public.

The architectural design of environments for the consumption of food necessarily involves an exploration and manipulation of the human experience of space. It reflects ideas about public and private behaviour for which the restaurant offers a stage. Famous architects were commissioned to provide designs for restaurants to lure in an ever more demanding urban clientele.

Restaurants and Dining Rooms provides valuable knowledge for designers, students of design and anyone interested in the cultural history of the modern metropolis.
