• Originally, ‘restaurant’ referred to a clear broth prepared for invalids
• The name was then applied to establishments that prepared and sold the broth
• Eventually extended to a type of food service establishment – Taverns and inns had long served meals, but
customers had no choice what to eat– France led emergence of food services that allowed
customers to choose from several food options: ‘menus’
