History

Bistros likely developed out of the basement kitchens of Parisian apartments where tenants paid for both room and board. Landlords could supplement their income by opening their kitchen to the paying public. Menus were built around foods that were simple, could be prepared in quantity and would keep over time. Wine and coffee were also served.

Etymology

The etymology is unclear, and is presumed to come from a regional word: bistro, bistrot, bistingo, bistraud, bistouille or bistrouille. The first recorded use of the word appears in 1884.. A popular folk etymology of the word claims that it originated among Russian troops who occupied Paris following the Napoleonic Wars. This etymology has been generally discredited due to its manifest illogic, and to the 69 year gap between the proposed origin and the first attestation.
