- Onion soup made with beef broth has no vegetarian label.
- If you serve drinks after the kitchen closes, the menu says when food stops.
- Gluten and dairy are labeled on the croque and the desserts.

Questions about a French café menu
What makes a café different from a brasserie?
A café is built around coffee and light plates through the day. A brasserie serves full meals from a longer menu.
Should I serve breakfast all day?
Only if the kitchen can still cook eggs at a busy lunch. Croissants and tartines are easy to serve all day.
Can I list aperitifs on the same menu?
Yes. Put them with the drinks, and say if they come with a snack, like olives.
