There are a few cafes and restaurants in my country that accepts Bitcoin and unfortunately those cafes and restaurants are located in the metropolis. Awareness of Bitcoin in our country is very low. You'll be surprised that maybe 2 to 3 out of 10 knows what Bitcoin is and even if they know Bitcoin exist, they are not interested because it is more used in scams.
How about your goverment? Are they accept bitcoin as payment system or just to be use as a comodity/an asset? Just one factor that many merchants who still refuse bitcoin as payment system is because the government still ban it. I'm pretty sure if the government has regulated it again and accept bitcoin to be use as payment system then I'll find many merchants who accept it. To give an understanding againts people who doesn't know bitcoin is really hard especially if they live in a country who ban bitcoin, it will be different if there is a country who accept bitcoin then it will be easy to explain what bitcoin is and he will accept easily.
