How do you sign “Restaurant” in ASL?
RESTAURANT: RESTAURANT in American Sign Language (ASL) names the place where someone else does the cooking. The video and animated demonstration below show the sign.
Where does RESTAURANT come up in conversation?
RESTAURANT books date nights, birthday dinners, and the where-should-we-eat debate. Ordering at restaurants is classic ASL practice territory, and Deaf-owned restaurants and signing servers make the experience its own small community event.
It appears in Lesson 52 of Book 2 with the meal vocabulary.
