The fallacy demonstrated in the statement “After trying this restaurant once and having a bad meal, I can say that all their food is terrible” is Hasty Generalization.

This fallacy occurs when a conclusion is drawn based on insufficient or unrepresentative evidence—in this case, making a broad claim about all the restaurant's food based on a single experience.
