What is a "food court"?

A food court is a dining area typically found within shopping malls, airports, or entertainment complexes, offering a wide variety of food and beverage options from multiple vendors. These areas often feature a shared seating area surrounded by food stalls, each specializing in different cuisines or types of food. Food court menus may include everything from fast food and international cuisine to healthier options like salads and smoothies, catering to diverse tastes and dietary preferences.
