Though the idea of a 'restaurant' had been around for centuries, the use of the term to describe an eating house until the 1700s. The word “restaurant”derives from the Latin word 'restaurare,' meaning "to renew."
The first restaurant was opened in 1765 by a Parisian named Monsieur Boulanger.
Monsieur Boulanger is a tavern keeper. He prepared food at his tavern for customers who came in primarily to eat.
Boulanger was also a guy with a sense of humor. He advertised his special dish, sheep feet in white sauce in a Latin invitation board says “ Venite ad me omnes qui stomacho laboratis et ego vos restaurabo” which means "Come to me all who suffer from pain of the stomach and I will restore you”
However The "first real & proper shaped restaurant" is considered to have been "La Grande Taverne de Londres" in Paris, founded by Antoine Beauvilliers in 1782.
This restaurant offered wealthy diners a menu listing all dishes. The wait staff served patrons at small, individual tables in an elegant setting.
With the outbreak of the French Revolution, chefs working for the aristocracy found themselves out of work. Those who escaped, opened their own restaurants to satisfy the refined tastes of their new clientele. By 1804 Paris had more than 500 restaurants, producing most of the great chefs of history and creating many famous dishes.
