'part' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'good restaurant recalled' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'restaurant' becomes 'noma' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'recalled' is a reversal indicator (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'g'+'noma'='gnoma'
'gnoma' in reverse letter order is 'AMONG'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
