light refreshments
that's what I'd say.
e.g.:
"The Geysir shop has grown together with the increase in tourism to the area and now offers a wide range of light refreshments and quick and excellent service to tourists and day-trippers alike. In addition to food and drink the shop also sells all kinds of useful equipment for the traveller. We welcome you to the Geysir shop."
"A small kitchen is available for the meeting room; however the preparation of meals is not allowed. Light refreshments may be served. The user is responsible for any food or beverage damage to the carpet. A fee will be assessed against any group that does not restore the room to its original clean condition. Use privileges may be revoked."

snack bar (with sandwiches, cold pizza)
"petite restauration" probably refers to:
1. provision of snacks/sandwiches etc. ie. not full hot meals... snack bar, and could also include (not only) vending machines.
Otherwise they would use demi-pension (breakfast and dinner) or pension complete (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)

More of your no. 1, plus the fact that some places offer menus
and a few are self-service; this is actually in opposition to "grande restauration", which is THE restaurant business as conceived in France. Hope it helps in the meantime, wait for other answers.
