| Oct 27, 2016 at 15:07 | comment | added | sleske | @I.Am.A.Guy: After a (cursory) search, a "sidewalk café" seems to be something different. They are typically located in towns/cities, and do not cater specifically to people on an excursion. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 15:05 | comment | added | sleske | @AJFaraday: It does not need to be a single word - an expression is ok. Edited to clarify. | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 13:55 | comment | added | AJFaraday | You seem to be running up against the fact that England doesn't use compound nouns. We wouldn't wrap this particular idea up in just one word. There are, however, as previous answers say, plenty of places which fit this description. | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 12:21 | comment | added | Hot Licks | There is the term "roadhouse", however, which (when not used to refer to a house of ill repute) describes a restaurant or bar which is some distance from the nearest town ("some" here being anywhere from a mile to 100). However, the term is not heavily used, both due to the rarity of the establishments and the association with brothels. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 12:19 | comment | added | Hot Licks | Yeah, people don't walk in the US, except from the parking lot into the store, so the concept doesn't exist here. | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 10:54 | comment | added | Mitch | The concept just doesn't exist in the US. Even the word 'café' as used in the US names a concept that is realatively new urban idea. | |

| Oct 27, 2016 at 10:20 | comment | added | sleske | @Spagirl: Yes, that does look quite similar, thank you.The main difference seems to be that country pubs are typically inside villages and mostly serve the locals, while a "Ausflugscafe" is in an area where people walk/cycle and mainly serves visitors. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 10:20 | comment | added | Spagirl | I'm not aware of a 'concept' name for such things, which may be that the cultural niche in the UK is filled by the 'country pub' which brings up quite a similar set of images. google.co.uk/… | |
