Budike
A Budike (also Viktualienkeller ) is regionally, especially in the Berlin area, a small pub or a kiosk serving as a drinking hall .
history
Originally it was used to designate sales establishments ( general stores) that had a more extensive range of food (meat, baked goods, spirits and beer) than tobacco shops and "material stores". Today, the term in its changed meaning as a designation for a simple restaurant (“pub”) or a kiosk (“drinking hall”) that is mainly geared towards the sale of drinks can still be found in the Berlin area.
In other regions of Germany it is used to describe small, shabby houses and huts.
The word is a corruption of the French term “ boutique ” based on the term “Bude” . In the 17th century, when it was spread in Germany, especially in Prussia, by expelled French Huguenots , this generally referred to a store or a magazine . In its twisted form, however, the pejorative meanings “bad house” or “cheap inn” soon gained the upper hand. Today the word is no longer used disparagingly, but rather casually and informally.
In the 19th century - in the course of the French language fashion - the term "boutique" gained a second foothold in German, but this time in its original spelling and in its now-used meaning "well-groomed clothing or jewelry store". The two terms that exist side by side today with two different meanings are therefore products of two import waves of the same French loan word in two different epochs.
Budiker
As a vender is referred to in the Berlin area owners of restaurants. Typically these are simple pubs and bars, which explains the negative connotation when owners of higher-priced restaurants and bars are referred to.
