A French Eatery is a type of restaurant that serves traditional French cuisine. The two most common types of French Eateries are Brasseries and Bistros. A BRASSERIE is a casual dining establishment that typically serves beer, wine, and classic French dishes such as steak frites and moules marinières. A BISTRO is a small, informal restaurant that usually serves simple, home-style French dishes such as omelettes and salads.
