Why is it Called a Restaurant

Source wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant

The word derives from the early 19th century, taken from the French word restaurer ‘provide meat for’, literally ‘restore to a former state’ and, being the present participle of the verb, the term restaurant may have been used in 1507 as a “restorative beverage”, and in correspondence in 1521 to mean ‘that which restores the strength, a fortifying food or remedy’.

There is a direct correlation between the growth of the restaurant businesses and institutions of theatrical stage drama, gambling and prostitution which served the burgeoning merchant middle class during the Song dynasty. Restaurants catered to different styles of cuisine, price brackets, and religious requirements. Even within a single restaurant choices were available, and people ordered the entrée from written menus. An account from 1275 writes of Hangzhou, the capital city for the last half of the dynasty:

In 1765, an innkeeper named Dossier Boulanger opened a restaurant in Paris and hung the following sign on the door:
“Venite ad me vos qui stomacho laboratis et ego restaurabo vos”

There were not many Parisians in 1765 who could read French, much less Latin, but those who could, knew what Boulanger, the owner, said:
“Come to my house, men with tired stomachs, and I will restore you.”

The phrase was so popular that since then, all restaurants in the world are called “RESTAURANTS.”

Apart from the delicious gastronomy that became famous throughout France, Boulanger delighted his diners with delicious desserts prepared by himself and due to the fame of his pastries, Boulanger is also the “culprit” that bakeries in France are called “boulangeries.”

The word RESTAURANT soon became established and the most reputable chefs who until then had only worked for private families, kings and ministers also opened their own businesses or were hired by a new group of small businessmen: RESTAURANTS

The term “RESTAURANT” came to the United States in 1794, brought by the French refugee of the revolution Jean Baptiste Gilbert Paypalt, who founded what would be the first French restaurant in the United States called “Julien’s Restorator”.

In many countries, restaurants are subject to inspections by health inspectors to maintain standards for public health, such as maintaining proper hygiene and cleanliness. The most common kind of violations of inspection reports are those concerning the storage of cold food at appropriate temperatures, proper sanitation of equipment, regular hand washing and proper disposal of harmful chemicals. Simple steps can be taken to improve sanitation in restaurants. As sickness is easily spread through touch, restaurants are encouraged to regularly wipe down tables, door knobs and menus.
