Etymology
Romanian borrowed "restaurant" directly from French in the 19th century, part of a wave of French vocabulary that entered Romanian as the country modernized its administration, fashion, and cuisine. The French word itself began as the present participle of "restaurer", to restore, and originally named a restorative broth sold to customers. By the late 1700s in Paris the word had shifted to mean the establishment that served such food.
