Bistrot
A bistro or bistrot , is, in its original Parisian incarnation, a small restaurant, serving moderately priced simple meals in a modest setting. Bistros are defined mostly by the foods they serve. French home-style cooking, and slow-cooked foods like cassoulet, a bean stew, are typical. History Bistros likely developed out of the basement kitchens of Parisian apartments where tenants paid for both room and board. Landlords could supplement their income by opening their kitchen to the paying public. Menus were built around foods that were simple, could be prepared in quantity and would keep over time. Wine and coffee were also served. Today, bistros are mostly still part of the hospitality industry. They are often connected with hotels, bars, and pubs. They still often serve cheaper, simplified menus or menus that are not tied to a specific cultural cuisine. Etymology The etymology is unclear, and is presumed to come from a regional word: bistraud, bistingo, bistouille, or b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brasserie
In France, Flanders, and the Francophone world, a brasserie () is a type of French restaurant with a relaxed setting, which serves single dishes and other meals. The word ''brasserie'' is also French for "brewery" and, by extension, "the brewing business". A brasserie can be expected to have professional service, printed menus, and, traditionally, white linen—unlike a bistro which may have none of these. Typically, a brasserie is open Wednesday to Sunday and serves the same menu all day. A classic example of a brasserie dish is steak frites. Etymology The term ''brasserie'' is French for "brewery", from Middle French ''brasser'' "to brew", from Old French ''bracier'', from Vulgar Latin ''braciare'', of Celtic origin. Its first usage in English was in 1864. The origin of the word probably stems from the fact that beer was brewed on the premises rather than brought in: thus an inn would brew its own beer as well as supply food and invariably accommodation too. In 1901 ''Cham ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
