style of cooking from a place
A special way of cooking that is typical of a country, place, or culture.
Vzorec užití:
[country/region] cuisine; the cuisine of [a place]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "cuisine" to mean any food in general (e.g., *"I bought some cuisine"*). It is usually used with a modifier to talk about a style of cooking, especially from a country or region (e.g., "Chinese cuisine", "local cuisine"). Another confusion comes from French, where "cuisine" can mean "kitchen"; in English, it almost never means the physical room.
Synonyma

|
food (Very general; refers to what is eaten, not specifically to a style or tradition of preparing it.)
|
gastronomy (More formal and academic; often suggests the study or appreciation of fine cooking.)

restaurant’s style and quality of food
The kind and quality of food that a restaurant or chef makes.
Vzorec užití:
the cuisine at [a restaurant/place]; [a restaurant] offers [adjective] cuisine
Častá chyba:
Learners may think this use always needs a country adjective (like "Italian" or "Thai"). In reviews, "the cuisine" often just means the style and quality of the restaurant’s food without naming a country (e.g., "The cuisine is excellent").
Synonyma
fare (Refers to the food offered by a restaurant; slightly more literary or formal.)
|
menu (Means the list of dishes available, not directly the style and quality, but often used to talk about what a restaurant serves.)
Antonyma
poor food (Highlights low quality of what a place serves, opposite to good or high-quality cuisine.)
