RESTAURANT

The term restaurant, as we now today, began in 1765 in Paris, France. There is an interesting story about the proprietor of, perhaps, the first public restaurant. Before 1765, inns and catering operation offered public food service. The caterers formed a guild (union) to protect their interests from unscrupulous Competition. This is when a soup vender created a soup made of sheep’s foot and white wine sauce. He was brought to court ruled that speciality dish did not compete with any dish prepared by the guild and the vender’s soup kitchen become famous and even the king of France wanted to taste the speciality which created public commotion. The soup vendor merchandise the soup as “le restaurant divin”-the divine restorative , coming from the Latin word resturare, meaning ‘to restore’. This gave us the word restaurant, which is a place to restore health.
