banquettes

Restaurant booth seats

Banquettes are upholstered benches, typically built against a wall.

In restaurants, banquettes line the perimeter, offering seating that faces outward toward tables: We slid into the banquette along the window.

In home dining areas, a banquette creates a cozy breakfast nook.

The term also refers to raised walkways or ledges, particularly along fortifications or the sides of bridges.
