1906, from French bistro (1884), originally Parisian slang for little wineshop or restaurant, of unknown origin. Commonly said to be from Russian bee-stra quickly, picked up during the Allied occupation of Paris in 1815 after the defeat of Napoleon; but this, however quaint, is unlikely. Another guess is that it is from bistraud a little shepherd, a word of the Poitou dialect, from biste goat..
