brasseries
Casual French eateries
Brasseries is the plural of brasserie, a type of French restaurant or café serving simple food and drinks in a casual, often bustling atmosphere.
Unlike formal restaurants, brasseries typically serve meals throughout the day: The brasseries along the boulevard were packed with the lunch crowd.
The word comes from French for "brewery," reflecting their origins as establishments attached to breweries.
