In Spanish, restaurant
means "restorative", referring to the food that was offered in the
eighteenth century (a meat broth). Another version of the origin of the word restaurant
to denominate the houses of meals, is also in France. According to this second
version, an innkeeper named Boulanger, at the inauguration of what could be
considered the first food house, put a slogan at the entrance, which read in
Latin: Venite ad me vos qui stomacho laboratis et ego restaurabo vos, that to
Castilian it could be translated as: "Come to me, all those who are tired
and I will restore you." From that last word of the slogan would derive
the term restaurant.
