In this edition of Entre Nous we dive into the bid to make France’s bistros and cafés part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list. We discuss how the bistrot got its name and how they are different from brasseries, bouillons and restaurants. We also discuss how alcohol consumption and wine’s powerful lobby in France may represent a weakness for the bid, but also why these gathering places are needed more than ever.

The French are unreasonably proud of their bread and coffee.
Boring
Jesus, all these redundant categories with their own names. Just determine how good of a restaurant it is by the size, price and neighborhood. That is all. When you break all the words down so minutely with precise definitions, they cease to have any meaning.
Some of the absolute worst food of my life is eating at French restaurants IN France! Cuisine assemblage and industrielle is 98% of what’s found in restaurants! It’s gotten so disgraceful that the FEW people/chefs who actually cook from scratch in the restaurant want restaurants to put signs in their windows saying “fait maison.” This way customers know which restaurants actually cook and which restaurants simply reheat premade factory food. French cuisine has become a complete joke in France. GOOD French food is found outside of france by people who still take time to build flavor and cook from scratch. Now THAT’S a report that you should do: why has French restaurants become so absurdly bad in France.
I love the bistrots and the whole bistrot culture. Quick, give them a world heritage status, before the get destroyed by "le Macdo and le burger".
