noshery
Casual dining place
A noshery is a casual eating establishment—a café, snack bar, or informal restaurant.
The word derives from nosh, Yiddish-influenced slang for snacking or light eating.
It's playful and slightly dated, more common in British English: We stopped at a little noshery for lunch.
