for loop django template tag using context

I am trying to query all Restaurants and show them to the user in my model but i can't get the template to show the items in the model

{% block content %}
<h1>Featured Restraunts</h1>
<ul>

{% for restaurant in restaurants %}
    <li><h2>{{ restaurants.name }}</h2></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

{% endblock %}

this is what i get
Featured Restaurants



and this is my views.py
def view_restaurants(request):
    restaurants = Restaurant.objects.all()
    return render(request,'menu/restaurants.html',{"restaurants":"restaurants",},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

is it a spelling mistake, All I want is to see a list of restaurants.

if I remove .name after restraunt my browser shows

restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants restaurants

even though there are only 2 entries

{"restaurants":"restaurants",}

seems to be your problem

You need to remove the quotation marks around the restaurants variable (and you don't need the comma either) -

return render(request,'menu/restaurants.html', {"restaurants": restaurants})

Also render doesn't require you to set the context_instance.
