style of cooking from a place
A special way of cooking that is typical of a country, place, or culture.
الگوی کاربرد:
[country/region] cuisine; the cuisine of [a place]
اشتباه رایج:
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.

restaurant’s style and quality of food
The kind and quality of food that a restaurant or chef makes.
الگوی کاربرد:
the cuisine at [a restaurant/place]; [a restaurant] offers [adjective] cuisine
اشتباه رایج:
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").
هممعنیها
fare (Refers to the food offered by a restaurant; slightly more literary or formal.)
|
