Brasseire

A Brasserie is a type of unique restaurant in France. A Brasserie is a large, bustling place with a traditional menu, where the food is good and served in a relaxed atmosphere. The menu is usually the same for every meal and the Brasserie is usually open every day of the week.

A classic Brasserie dish is usually their very popular steak frites, which means steak and fries in French. Another commonly ordered dish is the salad, a filling dish large enough to have as a meal by itself. Other frequently ordered dishes are, coq au vin, blanquette de veau, and andouillettes. Some Brasseries even offer seafood, and serve raw shellfish and a plethora of other seafood.

Lunchtime is when the Brasseries are most crowded. This is typically where friends and family gather for outings. Brasseries usually have full bars, in fact, the word “Brasserie” comes from the word brewery. When traveling through France, Brasseries are scattered everywhere. The food might not always be “top notch” but the experience is very enjoyable.
