I recently binged Raw (Irish TV show; 2008 - 2013) and realised that a lot of my favourite books, movies, fanfics and shows are set in restaurants or coffee shops and/or center around food! So, here's a list of books (ALL GENRES!) set in or largely featuring restaurants or cafes! Please comment your recs to help me find more great books and lengthen the list!

aka. Book Club Fiction

An industry buzzword term that literary agents are reportedly increasingly requesting - but most people don't realize that the books they're reading or writing fit the description.

Books that meld the best of both worlds of commercial fiction and literary fiction. These works are character-driven, possess a good hook, has quality but accessible writing, a widely connectable theme, and is written with the aim of thoughtful discussion. They're often ideal for book clubs.

Books that do a great job of making your mouth water from their great food descriptions or show fascinating things about food.
