Frequently asked questions

What is the meaning of outdoor restaurant?

Outdoor restaurants refer to restaurants that serve food in the open air. Although many people think that outdoor restaurants are only open when the weather is nice, there are also those where you can dine outdoors even on rainy days and are equipped with heaters and sunroofs to cater to all weather conditions, like Nosta restaurant.

How would you describe outdoor food?

Outdoor food is eating that is taken outdoors. This type of outdoor dining is trendy and considered by many people to be unique, stylish and often fancy. It can be described as a kind of picnic or party because it is more relaxed and more reminiscent of going to a restaurant outdoors.

Why is al fresco popular?

A popular trend in recent years is eating outdoors, i.e. "al fresco". Outdoor dining offers guests the opportunity to dine al fresco while enjoying the amenities and luxuries of the city, the fresh air and the weather.

What type of dining style involves eating outside in fresh air?

Al fresco dining is a type of outdoor eating that takes place in an outdoor dining area or garden. The dining experience is typically more casual than indoor dining, and the food is enhanced as well by the fresh air and nature's beauty that surround you.

Why is alfresco dining important?

Outdoor dining is important because it allows guests a more leisurely dining experience and the opportunity to enjoy foods cooked over an open flame such as barbecued meats, pizzas and roasted vegetables. Outdoor dining is also a good way to combine social interaction with the enjoyment of food. Outdoor dining typically attracts a larger number of guests than indoor seating, so it tends to generate higher revenue for the venue.

Why is eating outside good?

Eating outdoors has several health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, reducing stress hormones and relieving muscle tension. It is even said to improve mood. Improved focus, memory and concentration have also been noted.

What is an outdoor area called?

An outdoor area may be called a patio, veranda, outdoor seating area or sun terrace. Outdoor areas are used for entertaining purposes and are usually covered with some type of structure to ensure protection from inclement weather. Another feature of outdoor design is a garden or lawn. Some outdoor areas are fenced to protect them from insects, vermin and unwanted visitors.

What is dining outside called?

Outdoor dining, also called "al fresco dining", is the practice of enjoying a meal outdoors or, more likely, in an enjoyable outdoor location - such as an outdoor dining area - rather than indoors. Although technically, any meal eaten outdoors can be called "al fresco dining", it is usually used to describe a meal eaten in a more casual setting than formal indoor space.

What does al fresco mean in Italian?

Al fresco means “in the open air.” Often found in front of restaurants or in front of homes, al fresco is the term used to describe an outdoor dining experience. It means the meal is served under the sky rather than inside a building or tented area.

Where does the word al fresco come from?

The phrase al fresco composed of two words, is borrowed from Italian for "in the cool/fresh [air]". It is not in current use in Italian to refer to dining outside. Instead, Italians use the phrases fuori ("outside", "outdoor") or all'aperto ("in the open [air]")

What do you call an outdoor seating area?

A patio or sun porch is a covered outdoor space, usually adjoining a residence and intended for outdoor sitting and recreation. It can be very simple or elaborate, and can be constructed from stone, brick, wood, or other materials.
