Can I say " in das..." or must I say "ins"? Is the contraction of in+das required, or optional. In other words, is "Ich gehe in das restaurant" OK to say?

It depends on the context ;) For one sentence alone is 'Ich gehe in das Restaurant.' OK. but not OK is: Ich habe Hunger. Ich gehe jetzt in das Restaurant. here you have to write 'ins Restaurant'. but OK would be: Ich habe Hunger. Ich gehe jetzt in das Restaurant am Rathaus. ;) some hints, how and when to use contractions you can find here: http://www.canoo.net/services/OnlineGrammar/Wort/Artikel/Prep-Art/Gebrauch.html?lang=en
