ethnic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one type of restaurant' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'the wrong cut is trimmed in' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'trimmed' becomes 'nc' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'is' with its final letter removed is 'i'.
'i' put into 'nc' is 'nic'.
'the' is an anagram of 'eth'.
'eth'+'nic'='ETHNIC'
