Answer

In 1765 a Parisian soup-vendor named Boulanger (which, confusingly, means Baker) put up a sign outside his shop in Latin, reading:

<< VENITE AD ME VOS QUI STOMACHO LABORATIS ET EGO RESTAURABO VOS >>

"Come to me, all who labour in the stomach, and I will restore you."

The idea of serving individual meals to customers who could sit down and eat them on the spot was, amazingly, very new; so the restorative aspect of Boulanger's innovation was incorporated into the name for this type of establishment.


Thus, the word "restaurant" comes from the French word " la restauration", meaning "restoration".

Bet you didn't know that - ain't GOOGLE great?

Daily Horoscope for June 17

Scorpio

This is a brilliant day to put your brain to good use. You'll come up with some really great ideas if you think outside the square. Don't feel you have to follow in other people's footsteps if you'd rather break out in a completely different direction. It's a day for doing your own thing and thinking your own thoughts, and for trusting that you're on the right track.
