- 1小酒館；餐酒館
A bistro is a small, not-too-fancy restaurant, often with a bar — the kind of neighbourhood place where you eat and maybe have a drink, not a stiff hall. English took the word around 1920 from French bistrot, which in the 1880s meant the person who ran a tavern, not the room itself. Though actually, nobody is sure where that French word came from; it is probably some regional speech, and the tidy stories you sometimes hear are not something we can stand behind. In English we only use it for the place. It feels a little stylish, not slang and not formal. Shops put “bistro” on the sign to suggest simple food and wine, even when the cooking is not French at all.
組成From French bistro(t). In the 1880s the French word meant the person who ran a tavern; English borrowed it around 1920 for the small restaurant itself. Where the French word first came from is unknown.
