French word initially 14:39 May 18, 2016
"restaurant" comes from "se restaurer" (to have something to eat per Robert & Collins), so there is a French définition and a French inclusion tha may be discussed, for example Mc Donald's insists on calling their booths "restaurants" although most chefs and gourmets will argue with that.
Should "tous au restaurant" be so hard to understand for the targeted audience? Translation is needed to have th reader understand, but French readers have to cope with "Just Do It" or "Science for a better life" in the ads they see at TV, so leaving in French could be a solution in which the English readers will infuse their own concept of restaurant? |
