Explanation of the names of restaurants in Paris

Friends who travel to Paris must have come across various restaurants, some of which are drunk and some have food, and they have various names. I don't know what they are. In fact, there are mainly bistro, brasserie, café, bar, restaurant, boulangerie, p? Tisserie, Salon de thé. Today, let's learn about their differences.

This means a small restaurant, which is a small and easy-going neighborhood store. These stores are generally owned by chefs, and their storefronts are generally small and their business hours are not long. Lunch is from 12: 11 to 2: 31 pm, and dinner is from 6: 11 to 11: 31 pm.

Plat du jour will be written on the blackboard, and the price is not very expensive, ranging from 1.5 to 31 euros per capita. The decoration in the store is generally simple, but some of them are also very distinctive, such as retro photo stickers.

Brasserie used to mean brewery, but now it refers to some bars and restaurants, and its biggest feature is the supply of barreled beer. Brasserie is bigger than Bristro, and it is almost the same as the right restaurant. The table is usually covered with white tablecloths, and the waiters wear special uniforms.

Some brasseries are decorated with great atmosphere. I have specially introduced five delicious and beautiful brasseries before. Interested friends can look over my previous articles. Different from restaurants, some pubs are together with coffee bars and bars, so the business hours are very long, and even brunch is served from 3 pm to 18 pm.

Café is a coffee Bar, and bar is a bar. French people have croissants and coffee for breakfast, which is as classic as our fried dough sticks with soy milk. Generally, coffee shops have less running water, so they bring brasserie and bar, and sometimes Loto or cigarettes Tabac.

We will specifically say tabac shops with cigarettes. Now more than 81% of Tabacs in Paris are owned by Wenzhou people. This kind of shop has a long business hours, and it is common to open at 6 am and close at 11 pm.

This is the right restaurant. Generally, it consists of several courses, and the service quality of waiters is highly valued. Of course, in order to adapt to the fast pace of Paris, Chinese sometimes offers a special meal with a main course. Michelin, which we are familiar with, is all about Restaurant.

Now the boundary between brasserie and restaurant is becoming increasingly blurred.

Boulangerie is a bakery, p? Tisserie is a dessert shop, Salon de thé teahouse. In addition to selling baguettes, bakeries also sell bread-related foods such as desserts and sandwiches, but dessert shops do not necessarily sell bread. Bakeries and dessert shops generally do not sell special drinks. Salon de thé tea room has desserts in addition to drinks, and tea shop is a kind of Salon de thé.

Because the French people's eating habit is that every meal needs bread, Boulangerie bakery, like cafe and pharmacie, is a must-have shop in every block.

Chocolatier mainly manages chocolate retail stores, many of which are owned by their own workshops. The famous stores include Patrick Roger, Jacques Genin, Pierre Marcolini, Jean-Paul Hé vin, etc., and Confiserie means candy store. Sometimes Confiserie also sells chocolates, such as Maison Boissier near the iron tower
