  • a resteraunt, isnt it?

    correct me if I'm wrong, but in france i think resteraunts go (in terms of poshness, 1 being the most posh)
    1. restaurant
    2. Bistro
    3. Brasserie
    4. cafe

    though that might be the wrong order, and I'm pretty sure there are other ones

    • cagé aren't supposed to serve food, only drinks.

      Bisto was a familiar term for café which is more and more used as a familiar term for brasserie...

  • It means brewery

    I believe. So I think it's sort of an eaty/drinky place maybe?

  • I've always thought of it

    as somewhere where they flame grill stuff and stuff, but that has absolutely no basis in reality.

    • I thought

      it was an intimate item of ladies clothing.

  • it was first a brewery of beer.

    Then it became a place that serves essentially beer and progressively a place that serves traditional and simple food.
