After a certain time, lunch and dinner is not served.
So, eat now or forever tenir votre faim.
Unlike Americans, Europeans eat in moderation. You won't find the 24-hour Diner or the Wendy's that closes at 2 AM. Here in Geneva and Collonges, food is a necessity, not an accessory. On many occasions, we've gone to restaurants and boulangeries to failed attempts and signs stating CLOSED.
I went to a Café yesterday and ordered un petit café chaud. I was given exactly that. A tiny cup of coffee, not even half the size of a Tall at Starbucks.
Delightfully, it was just the amount I needed.
