brasserie
Casual Parisian eatery
A brasserie is a French-style restaurant or café serving simple, hearty meals in an informal atmosphere.
Unlike more formal French restaurants, brasseries typically offer a limited menu of traditional dishes—steak frites, onion soup, roast chicken—served throughout the day: We grabbed a late lunch at the brasserie on the corner.
