Our Fast Food Cafe

Non-PRO English to French Other
This is going to sound strange! I'm doing kind of a French theme in the kitchen of my new house, but my husband and I don't "cook" much. We mostly do things that are quick and easy to make. I am putting a phrase in French in our kitchen and making it look like antique, but I would like it to say something clever. If you come up with anything else that would be neat, let me know. I looked through my French books from college, but they didn't help much with my creativity. Thanks so much!

Selected

"Notre P'tit Coin Resto" / Notre P'tit Coin Café"

"Our Fast Food Cafe"

Since you don't cook that much, that will be your special corner to serve both the purposes of eating your own food, carry-out or whatever else.

"P'tit" is a sweet little French word to make it all the more dear to you both.

Bon Appétit! :0)

Café Express

Café express is the term employed for coffee made in a percolator, and thus "rapidly" (as in repas express). I have seen the name used before, for cafés close to train stations, for instance (obvious association with train express).

disagree GILLES MEUNIER : it's not a place in the kitchen

again, I believe she is looking for a name with which to baptize her kitchen
neutral Jean-Luc Dumont : agree both drink and place (mais ça fait plus western que français)

dans quel sens? express est un mot d'origine latine
neutral Geneviève von Levetzow : D'accord avec Gilles et Jean-Luc
