This week an unknown person found my blog by searching for “restaurants in the bible.” I found this humorous because, needless to say, I am 99.99999% certain there are no restaurants mentioned in the bible.
I wondered why a search engine would have directed this person to my site. Could it be because of a post I published in 2017 called Christian restaurant-ing?
Since I found it funny, I went to Facebook and posted a note about the search term.
Next thing I knew, my clever friends had started inventing imaginative names for biblical restaurants. Here they are in alphabetical order:
The Ark
Calvary (not very popular, limited cuisine)
The Last Supper Bar & Grille
The Last Supper Club
Loaves and Fishes
Manna Nirvana
Mary and Martha’s Place
Not Just Another Room at the Inn
Olive Garden
Olive Garden of Eden
Olives of Gethsemane
The Stable, a Family Restaurant
Suspicious Fish
3 Wise Guys Pizzeria
12 Hungry Men
Water & Wine
Do you have any ideas for names?

Restaurant-ing through history 
Nice blog
Garden of Eatin’, which is a real brand of natural and organic foods.
The Biblical Buffet
Yay!
There is a very popular fancy prepared food shop here in East Hampton named Loaves and Fishes. They also have a gourmet cookware store.
Aha! Do miracles occur there?
Jan, there was for many years a restaurant called Noah’s Ark in St. Charles, MO, just south of the very first length of interstate highway ever, I-70. Much larger-than-life fiberglass animals could be seen on the decks of the boat-shaped building. Easily Googlable, if you want to pursue.
Thank you! I do know of it — and the image of Noah’s Ark is from there, a match cover.
The Ten Condiments
“Thou shalt not eat here in vain!”
Good one, love the slogan.
TGI Friday’s? (Although the original version would have been Sunday.)
