Qu'est-ce qui est cela?
Mon Dieu, sûrement mes yeux decieve moi!
Peut-il être vrai?
Je répondrai vite avant que je me réveille de ce rêve:
cafe - a casual, snack/sandwich place with somewhat careless service
bistro - small, casual eatery with a larger menu selection than a cafe
brasserie - more informal than a restaurant, but with better service and more a extensive menu than bistros. Usually open til quite late
restaurant - too snooty for words
J'attends pointage abondant, mon foodmeister.

These are the paramedics called when Ms. Duck passed out at her computer......
We need to know the potential cause of her health issues.....
Perhaps it was the butchering of ze french language, n'est pas?
Or perhaps it was a seizure brought on by the yellow sponge dancing....
At any rate, she will be indisposed and unavailable to snidely comment on your FT2N.
We are looking for her bowling shoes and breast pump as she refuses to leave her house without them.....
Bonne nuit.

Tres replete with plumbing leakage, bleeding veins emptying of moolah rushing to higher education (HAH! What a fricking joke.) and screwballs messing with the workplace. REALLY messing. Things are peachy. Ooh, I meant peche-y.

Eh. Same ole, same ole.

Cest fleury? Were you trying to invoke a DQ Blizzard? Cest fleury is another meaningless yammering from your long gone yap. You really need to work on context.

"bwcause"? Is that Baba Wawa's influence on you? Did you enable her to screw around with that senator? Is that why you're quoting her? You owe her? That's just great.

expound!!!
A restaurant must serve food on plates with non-plastic utensils; a cafe must serve food on plates with non-plastic utensils but paper napkins are allowed; a bistro must keep the poulet and cheese off the bistro floor, away from the dogs and must serve it on a surface with bathroom tissue usable as a napkin; a brasserie must serve easily handled finger foods (doigts foods) nestled cunningly betwixt the miracle bras, thongs and body sprays, kept at higher than room temperature and discarded underwear may be used as a napkin.
I might have forgotten some of my French stuff, but the large parts are all correct. Really.
It's about TIME, YOU FROMAGE BOY!

expound!!!
In my life as an international super spy -- oops, forget I said that! In my ordinary humdrum existence as an eater, I believe that les differences are as follows:
A cafe in France originally was a coffeehouse, where one also could buy snacks, simple food, and non-alcoholic beverages.
A brasserie was more like what we might call a pub, where you can buy sandwiches and other eats and -- more importantly, beer.
A bistro was small eatery with simple meals, where one also could order (and drink!) wine.
A restaurant was and remains the place to go for fancier meals and a full selection of fine wines and mixed drinks.
I believe that the differences for the first three have become a bit blurred over recent decades, and it's all the fault of those darned Americans who persist in visiting France and getting hungry and thirsty.
I am not really an international super spy; I was just fooling with you. (No, I wasn't) (I was, too!) (Not!)

A brasserie is where you buy brassieres.
Bistro is where they have a lighted ball on the ceiling and you dance.
Cafe is short for cafeteria, like K & W,, which my grandmother used to love but she would complain they dint have everything she wanted and we would say get over it.
Restaurant is duh where you rest and rant.

Restaurants are regular sit-down places to eat.
Cafes are more casualer in the dress and eatments, and you don't have to wear a jacket. It can extend out onto the sidewalk.
Bistros are where you hang out with American expatriates and drink cheap beer.
A brasserie is mostly a bar, but there is also a limited menu for snacky type things. I ate at a brasserie in Baltimore down by the bay when the Greek restaurant we were going to was closed, and the crab cakes were good but overpriced.

The phrase "when you see the Waffle House" is always included when you're giving directions here in the south. We're getting more IHOP's but a Huddle House is few and far between around here anyway.

That's the third most used phrase in my memory.
The second is "When the hounds start to chase you"...
The first is "If you see the big still, back up quick"

When I read this all I realy hear in my head is blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah...
Anywho, a bistro serves food and is family style it has a bar and serves wine. A brasserie just had beer and some food. A cafe is much like a bistro but has seating outside and breakfast.
