Including different types of businesses such as restaurants, eating houses, cafeterias, bars, inns, wine bars and wineries. Times have changed and with it the world of restoration which presents numerous changes with new lines of business.
Actors, comedians, athletes, singers and businessmen have followed the example of Hollywood stars such as Bruce Willis and Nicole Kidman to invest in the catering sector by opening restaurants or bars, hand in hand with renowned chefs and expert restaurateurs. Among these we can mention:
