Curious about the difference between a bistro and a restaurant? Let Quench! Wine Bistro in Asheville guide you through the nuances while offering a unique dining experience that combines the best of both worlds.

Understanding Bistros vs. Restaurants

While all bistros are restaurants, not all restaurants are bistros. Here's how they differ:

  1. Atmosphere: Bistros typically offer a more intimate, casual setting compared to traditional restaurants.
  2. Menu: Bistro menus often feature simpler, homestyle dishes with a focus on quality ingredients.
  3. Size: Bistros are usually smaller than full-scale restaurants, creating a cozy dining environment.
  4. Service Style: Bistros often have a more relaxed, personal service approach.
