Spanish term

restaurante clásico

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary
Como opuesto a un restaurante quizás de comidas vanguardistas. No estoy muy seguro si el término 'classic' se podría utilizar para un restaurante.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): R. Alex Jenkins

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Rachel Fell Sep 2, 2008:
Agree with Noni - any context, please? - because it depends... also, I think it also depends on the price range - classic sounds a little more formal and "upmarket" than traditional may be, I think
Noni Gilbert Riley Sep 2, 2008:
¿Se sabe qué tipo de platos sirve? Si la comida es española etc (en caso de ser de España)?

I think that traditional would be much better here and definitely more widely used and understood!!!!

Depends on the rest of your context. It might well be quite 'classic', as in it serves classic popular dishes. Or 'traditional', as you say, as opposed to super modern. I think you could use either depending. :)

traditional/old-fashioned restaurant

dos posibles opciones
Peer comment(s):

neutral liz askew : I felt I had to make this comment, because "old-fashioned/traditional" has become slightly derogatory here (not for me though :-) Some people don't know what they are missing, IMHO.

well taken your observation, thanks Liz!
