How to sign “Restaurants” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Restaurants” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape your dominant hand into an R by crossing your middle finger over your index finger.
- Touch the R-hand to one corner of your chin, palm facing inward.
- Move the hand across to touch the other corner of your chin.
- Repeat the chin-to-chin sweep once more to show more than one place.
- Keep the palm facing inward toward your face through both short moves.
- Use the same neutral expression as the eating signs — you are naming places to eat.
Practice tip
Same mouth-corner path as EAT; the repeated sweep turns one restaurant into many.
