English term or phrase: fine dining

the speaker is comparing the fare offered at "street food" restaurants to that offered at "fine dining" restaurants.

Eg: "Even the fine dining restaurants were offering more dishes based on olive oil and less dishes based on butter."

"Fine Dining" is quite a well established "buzz word" in English, but I'm struggling to find an equivalent in Italian that is as common? Thanks in advance ;)

ristoranti

Explanation:
Come ho indicato con gli agree, anche le soluzioni indicate da altri colleghi sono valide; a mio avviso, comunque, per molti italiani, "ristorante" indica già da solo un locale di categoria superiore (in confronto ad esempio a trattorie, osterie, pizzerie - per non parlare di paninoteche, fast-food, ecc.); quindi si potrebbe rendere l'opposizione tra "fine dining restaurants" e "street food restaurants" semplicemente con "ristoranti" / "locali" o qualcosa del genere. Personalmente, trovo forse più problematica la resa di "street food restaurants"... :-)

Grading comment

thank you! as i mentioned under 'street food', the ristoranti/locali option makes it even clearer than the English version I think! Funny that any old thing in Australia/English speaking countries is referred to as a restaurant (including McDonalds?!) where the Italian 'ristorante' implies a superior quality - again, all answers were viable and big thanks to all!

adesso ne sono sicura:

Notes to answerer

Asker: now that you put it that way, it seems quite logical - i think i might open "street food" up for suggestion - that's thrown me right off! (and thank you for doing so!) I might leave this one open overnight and see what others think - it's far too late in Australia for rash decisions! (Thanks to everyone on this!)
