Our Fast Food Cafe

French translation: "Notre P'tit Coin Resto" / Notre P'tit Coin Café"

English term or phrase: Our Fast Food Cafe
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!

Explanation:
"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


Explanation:
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).
