What is bistro meaning?

A bistro is a small, casual restaurant that typically serves simple, home-style meals. The term derives from the French word for "quick meal," and traditional bistros originated in Paris in the late 19th century. Bistros are typically characterized by a cozy atmosphere, simple decor, and a limited but carefully curated menu of dishes that reflect the region's culinary heritage. In some places, the term "bistro" may be used to refer to any small, cozy restaurant, even if it does not serve traditional French cuisine.
