Western Chains
The reason to go to a f ull service restaurant is to try new f ood types and is due to its reliable, clean &
hygienic environment. Many people would love to try but their concern is the expensive price.
Among the western cuisines, French and I talian are well known and very attractive.
Atmosphere was valued most in selecting a western f ull service restaurant.
Full service western restaurant chains are limited to date in China
