Best time to post, for restaurants and cafes.
Two windows and they are not subtle: late morning, when people decide where to have lunch, and the couple of hours before an evening meal. Posting a dish at 4pm reaches an audience that is neither hungry nor deciding, which is the emptiest hour in this niche.
When restaurants and cafes are actually reachable
Late morning
The lunch decision is being made right now by people who have not made it yet. The shortest and sharpest window in this niche.
Early evening
The couple of hours before a meal, when a table gets chosen and booked rather than admired.
Mid afternoon
The emptiest hour here. Nobody is hungry and nobody is deciding, so a dish posted now is a dish posted to nobody.

The hours every posting-times guide repeats describe everybody rather than restaurants and cafes, and we have not checked them against any account. They are set out in full on the posting times guide.
