Summary: I was going to give 1 star until I realized...
Review: ...that the error was mine. I ordered this along with a whole host of other books on the restaurant business. I didn't realize that it was a book of pictures. I thought it was that and some kind of description about what we were looking at. It's not. Only pictures. I dropped it to 3 stars though because (while certainly interesting cases) most every business featured is an ultra-modern style. That, plus there are absolutely no case-by-case descriptions of what it is the authors found attractive or important about the designs. Christian Hunter

Summary: GREAT RESOURCE!!
Review: A winner in its class! This book is a great resource and value. For under $20.00 it has great visual information for the architect or designer, or the interested design afficionado. Unlike most picture books on restaurants, which feature themey, ugly, resort type projects, this book has loads of fresh, modern design. A must have for restaurant designers.

Summary: good idea book
Review: This book has lots of great pictures of various cafes and restaurants, hence the title. I bought it for ideas for my work and I loved flipping through the book when my brain needs some new ideas. If you are looking for how the architects came up w/ the solution or what kind of materials they use, you may not want this book. If all you are looking for is pictures, this is the book for you.
