How to write a restaurant review
DO
- Keep the review short and concentrate on the facts. Think about what you want to know when you read reviews by other readers
- Be straightforward about your own tastes. State why you liked or disliked something
- Write to entertain: people might not visit the restaurant, but they could still read your review
DON’T
- Focus too much on any one area of the dining experience. Write a general overview
- Write about yourself – people want to know about the restaurant
- Rant about a specific incident. Give objective criticism that other readers will find useful
