About Bar venues

A bar is a venue centred on drinks, from beer and wine to cocktails and spirits, usually with a small food menu of snacks or shareable plates. The focus is the social atmosphere and the bar service rather than a sit-down meal.

French culinary culture is listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, a recognition of how central eating is to French identity. A French meal is a structured, unhurried event: starter, main course, cheese, dessert and coffee, each with its wine pairing. France's brasseries, bistros, crêperies and market restaurants form the backbone of everyday eating, alongside a world-leading fine dining sector. Bread, cheese and the local marché (market) remain pillars of daily French food life.
