What makes something a bistro?
No idea, maybe being a smaller place?
the term is meaningless now. you can call anything a bistro.
The handling.
>>21613565Would it be different to a steakhouse?
>>21613561I know the rules are different in Frants, but in Australia a Bistro is a restaurant (usually established by and run by a chef) that buys-into a pub and prepares restaurant food to order in the pub for the pub patrons. It's a pretty great system †bqh.The bistro generally runs their own hours which don't necessarily align with the pub hours because of course they wouldn't.If the bistro goes tits up the pub is still fine, and a new chef will come-in and start a new bistro.
Almost every "bistro" you've been to want really a bistro. A proper bistro is a small, informal restaurant serving one or two options per service per day. Basically, you go, you look at the menu outside, you decide if the one (or rarely two) options sound good and, if so, you go in, you eat, you pay, you leave.If the place has more than a single server, it's not a bistro. If the place has a menu with multiple options, it's not a bistro. If they take reservations, it's not a bistro. If it's not family run, it's likely not a bistro (but might be).If it's expensive, it's not a bistro. If it's not home-cooking, it's not a bistro. If it's got rare or fancy shit, it's not a bistro.If the place looks like that shit in the OP, it sure as fuck ain't no bistro. Does that make sense?Basically, >>21613564 is correct and it's fucking sad.>>21613567Ironically, a steakhouse might be more similar to the spirit of a true bistro than that shit OP posted. A true bistro offers simple meals, usually a cheap stew of some kind, but cheap steak and potatoes could qualify, too.
>>21613565>>21613567:)
>>21613561Its just a bar that also makes food
>>21613561the name.
>>21613594>Almost every "bistro" you've been to want really a bistro>wantdid you use speech-to-text and you have a horrible accent?
>>21613561bistrots and brasseries are modest places where you can get drinks, coffee and simple yet good meals for cheap
>>21613744Or may bee, just May Bea… uh naan maid a pho king ThaiPoe. You goddamn retard.
>>21613840You're an effeminate little kid
>>21613594So a bistro is shitty food and service at a bar? Just park a food truck outside then.
>>21613844Eye yam knot. Yore still reed tar dead, dough.
>>21613744Neither. Was typo.>>21613847It depends. At a proper one, the menu changes just about daily or at the very least weekly and the offerings are seasonally appropriate. You might go one day in mid-November and they'll have cassoulet. Go the next and cassoulet is off the menu, replaced by some other late autumn dish of some kind. Go in late summer, and they'll have ratatouille or roasted chicken with potatoes and spinach. That's how they keep prices down. Simple menu based on what's seasonal (see: cheap). It's just good, cheap, unfancy food.
>>21613561Do they not have dictionaries in your shithole?
>>21613860So its like going to a coffee shop, but instead of coffee you just get lunch?
>>21613897What part of going to a specific place for a specific product/service is confusing you?
>>21613925So a hot dog cart is a bistro? Every day of the week they serve one thing and one thing only. Hotdogs.
>>21613932yes my hot dog cart is bistro sir hot dog mustard 3.50 its good, fresh hot dog, you buy, yes?
>>21613932No, because the menu doesn't change based in what ingredients the chef can source. Are you illiterate?
>>21613958you want hot dog?beef hot dog?i make "street" meat hot dog for you special best rat cat meat in chinatowni make dog dog too. your dog need put down? i make him into hot dog. this is bistro sir, i source local meat, finest meat in manhattan
>>21614063Ameritranny melty.
>>21613561A French flag outside typically is a good indicator
>>21613561Usually less dishes than regular restaurants and the service is faster. It's more about just eating and not an event.
>>21614063Oh dear, this unintelligent lady has lost her shit. Pretty cringe to witness
