Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 934/854=L/1429)

The best and safest way for Muslims is to avoid eating meat in those restaurants. However, if one is sure about a restaurant that it presents halal meat or its owner is Muslim who certifies that the meat was halal then it is allowable to eat it.
