I would say the two most similar animes for this would be Bartender and Shokugeki no Souma. Bartender and this anime has a lot of similarities and I mean A LOT. The attitudes of both masters of the restaurants/bar have pretty much the same attitude. Humble, respectful, and a level of professionalism. The music taste is also similar. The general feel of awe is the same. The biggest differences are the comedy elements of each character and the fantasy-based theme of Isekai Shokudou vs. supposedly a more realistic theme in Bartender. Now for the similarities and differences compared to Shokugeki no Souma. The food looks amazing in both animes. SNS is more of a competitive anime. There's fun humor in both. SNS has more detail in cooking. No ecchi. No foodgasms. All in all, I really do like Isekai Shokudou more because it was fun and entertaining in a way that wasn't stressful. It was a light-hearted anime that anybody could honestly enjoy if you want to watch the history of each of its customers. But for the people who want more depth in the story, definitely check out Shokugeki no Souma and all its seasons. But Bartender is by far the most similar in the atmosphere if nothing else. The idea of a small humble place that has interesting characters and stories, a very respectful host, and beautiful drinks and even in the end shows you how to make them during the ED song. The music is also soothing.
