🍽️ 餐 (meal) + 馆 (establishment) = meal-establishment, a restaurant
餐 means meal or to eat; 馆 denotes a public building or establishment (also in 图书馆 library, 旅馆 inn). Together they literally name a meal-establishment — a restaurant.
餐 — 歺 (bone fragment) + 又 (hand) + 食 (food)
Originally a phono-semantic compound showing a hand (又) taking food from bones (歺), with 食 (food) as the meaning component. The top portion 'cǎn' provides the sound, while 食 indicates the meaning of eating. Over time it came to mean 'meal' or 'to eat.'
