Names of Eating Places...
Public eating places go by several names:
Das Restaurant has a varied menu of hot food, including perhaps a Spezialität.. Die Gaststätte, found especially in smaller villages, is similar to our cafes and is frequently a source of authentic cooking. Das Cafe is essentially a coffeehouse that usually has pastries available and occasionally other snacks. Die Konditorei is a pastry shop, often connected with a Cafe. Especially in the smaller towns and neighborhood Gaststätten, there is usually a table marked Stammtisch. This table is reserved for the group of regular patrons who spend a part of every evening around the table discussing the day's events, arguing politics, or playing cards. The Stammtisch is also a part of German private life. Thus a newcomer sits at this table only when he is invited to join the Stammgäste.
