Di you want full service, limited service, cafeterias, snack bars, or
some combination of those?

Full service and limited service would be best case. If you had all of
those you described, that would be acceptable.

I can point you to data for all major US cities that looks like this:

Miami Area:

							Number of
					    		Establish-   
					       		Ments     
                        					
Foodservices & drinking places 			       6,291 

	Full-service restaurants 			2,940 
	Limited-service eating places 		        2,677 
	Limited-service restaurants 			1,983 
	Cafeterias 				   	  200 
	Snack & nonalcoholic beverage bars   	          494 
	Special foodservices 			   	  325 
	Drinking places (alcoholic beverages)      	  349 


It also include other information:  sales, number of employees, etc.

But I do not have access to similar data for non-US cities.  Your
call...do you want it?

davidsar-ga-- Than would be fantastic!!

I might be able to get this information for US cities (I have it for
states) but I'm not sure about the international cities.  Will that
suffice?

The Economic Census 1997 last updated Feb. 2001 gives the American
information you are looking for
http://www.census.gov/epcd/ec97/fl/FL000_72.HTM.  I have contacted
numerous international restaurant associations with no luck.  I hope
this helps get your search started.

Dear Questioner,
                  I expect the international ones are not that
important to you but if you really need to know I can get Sydney and 
Melbourne Australia, ( the two bigest cities in my country),  without
too much trouble.  In the meantime and from memory Melbourne with a
population of around 3.5M has about 2000 stand-alone restaurants that
are not part of  bars/hotels or are not merely glorified hotdog
stands. I think  this is what you are looking for yes?? no?? Sydney
although larger with 4,000,000  probably has a little less as
Melbourne is considreed one of the restaurant capitals of the world in
terms of quality and number. Anyway if you want further info perhaps
write back direct to john.birkin@auspost.com.au otherwise I will
assume, as I suspect, that the info is not that important.

  Gotta go; getting hungry so off to our Chinatown just a block away
which has 60 chinese restaurants which the best chefs in China rated
as serving the third best chinese food outside of China. A city in
Canada came second but cant remember who was firs, maybe a US
city?????????????
