| | service de petite restauration | Explanation:
Please check the glossary, as we've had this term, and a very lengthy discussion, before!
Usually, refreshments includes drinks and also smaller things to eat, sometimes going as far as light meals; the sort of thing one often finds in a 'snack' in France, for example. However, the only way to be sure is actually to check, if it's important for you to choose a term in FR that cannot remain as non-committal as the EN term is. |

Explanation:
Refreshments se traduit le plus communement par "rafraichissements, "boissons" mais ca peut egalement inclure la notion de snack (petites choses legeres a manger) qui se traduit par "en-cas". Dans ce contexte on parle de Snack bar qui offre a boire et a manger tout au long de la journee, ce pourquoi ici je pense que "en-cas" est plus approprie.
