Where by the zoo visitor or guest can take or have their dinner and lunch accompanied by Lion or Tiger, jaguar, wolves and etc of course separate with glass fronted.

If you can get a seat, if you're willing to queue a little to be served, if you can put up with the loud echos of children playing in the close-by indoor play area and if they're out (and not in the usual spot where you'll probably get a better view by going in the zoo to look at them).:D

All things of which I cannot do;)
 
Brno has an indoor restaurant (with waiters and all) that is separated from main tiger enclosure by long glass wall (from floor to ceiling), but getting a table during rush hours in main holiday season is difficult.
 
Off the top of my head, I can recall the following.

The Fort Worth zoo's crocodile cafe features views of gharials and a variety of fish and turtles in a massive pool.

Zoo Leipzig and it's highly acclaimed Masola Rainforest complex features a restaurant that look out to the seemingly endless forest.

To take it a step further, the National zoo in Canberra, Australia features the "Jamala Lodge" an overnight hotel style experience that features rooms and dining areas with glass views of lions, tigers and bears. This one in particular looks brilliant and something I personally would love to do.

 
Paradise Wildlife Park in the UK have a small cafe attached to the tiger enclosure by a glass window - you can just have food there during the day (there are 2 tables right next to the window) or pay extra to have some kind of "Tiger Brunch" / "Tiger Tea" experience. I've not done the experiences but I assume brunch is an early entry thing.
 
Montpellier zoo has a restaurant with a glass window looking onto the monkey enclosures (sakis and squirrel monkeys.
 
Whenever I googled Dierenrijk, a photo of a family eating at a table while 2 bears watched at a large window always caught my eye. No idea of the actual set up though
 
Philly sort of does. The big cat 360 trail - a secure pathway that allows an animal to go for a walk and explore a bit outside their regular enclosure; in this case the big cat one also goes over a main walkway and under the gorilla trail - passes right by the indoor area of the Tiger Terrace eating area. It's dependent on the animal(s) happening to walk by. 20180917_144412.jpg

The LIED jungle one in omaha is amazing, you can sit and see most of the jungle from slightly above. On my visit, there were several baby primates that I got to see playing in the tops of the trees.

These are ones that I have personally seen:

Utah's Hogle Zoo (African elephants)
Jacksonville Zoo (jaguars)
Bearizona (jaguars, but only if you eat outside)
Dallas Zoo (African lions)
Fort Worth Zoo (gharials)
Zoo Zurich (various Malagasy species)
Wildlife Word Zoo & Aquarium (sharks (black tipped reef?) and other fish)
