Welcome to the definitive website dedicated to Brasserie culture. Here you will find a wealth of information on the History and culture of the Brasserie as well as guides to world renown and locally run independent Brasserie style restaurants.
A brasserie is a café doubling as a restaurant with a relaxed setting, which serves single dishes and other meals. It can be expected to have professional service and printed menus (unlike a bistro which may have neither), but more informal eating hours than a full-fledged restaurant. Typically, a brasserie is open every day of the week and the same menu is served all day. The word 'brasserie' is also French for brewery and, by extension, "the brewing business".
