Question:

What does the word 'continental' signify...........as in food,hotels,restaurants?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It refers to the European continent. It does not have an exact meaning, but generally, it means food, hotels, restaurants, etc., in the European style. For instance a "continental" breakfast usually is a light breakfast of coffee (or tea) and pastries and maybe juice, typical of Europe.
