The Spanish is a little snootier, but this should cover it. I had thought of "eating out" but that's more informal when what we need is sth a spot more formal.

"restauración" covers the food service in both restaurants and hotels; a blanket term for this in English would be "food guides". The most famous is the Michelin Guide, as described here:

Of course there are many ***food guides***: Zagat, the Good Food guides, and the excellent Evening Standard are only a few of them. For me, Time Out provides the most comprehensive and accurate advice on where to eat in London. But at the end of the day, Michelin, with its tiny print, arcane recommendation system, and intense secrecy, remains the Bible for those who take their food seriously.
