The European Tradition of Bread Baskets in Restaurants

In Russia, of course, this is not a widespread practice, but in restaurants, sometimes before serving dishes, visitors are brought a full basket of lush buns, bread sticks or white bread. For example, in Europe, this compliment from the establishment is a common practice. While customers are waiting for an order, they are happy to eat crispy fragrant bread, and even with butter, butter or olive (as in Italian cafes), or even with soft cheese (for example, they treat it in Montenegro).
