Idols in restaurants
#2
Shalom
Since you are not there to worship the idol or to give it honor but simply to eat there, and the idol is not placed there to worship but as a decoration, you do not have any problems with eating there. It is similar to the story in the Talmud of the Romans placing a statue of Aphrodite in the public bath houses. The Jews were permited to use the bath houses despite the idol being there.
