Greetings from Chef Jacques |
|
We’re excited for the holidays here at L’Auberge Chez Franҫois and Jacques’ Brasserie. In fact, the holiday season was our founder François Haeringer’s most favorite time of the year, as you can tell by our extraordinary display of holiday decorations throughout the dining rooms
and grounds. Most of our lights and decorations, as per Papa’s tradition, will be turned on Thanksgiving evening and will remain on until the new year.Not to be missed, we have some of our most popular and decadent special events on the schedule for the coming month. Our annual holiday sing along with our local favorites, the Difficult Run String Band, “Holiday in Paris” and “Champagne Celebration” cooking
demonstrations and luncheons, a sumptuous Champagne and Bordeaux Wine Dinner, a Holiday Wine Festival, and a Sounds of the Season Brunch with guitarist Alexander Barnett.It’s a great time to think about the perfect gift for that special someone in your life. Check out our online store here for engraved logo wine glasses, cookbooks, DVDs, and even a fashionable silk scarf. If you are still undecided, personalized gift certificates can be used to dine, come to a special event, or purchase merchandise. You may purchase them online or by calling (703) 759-3800.
Holidays also mean a rush for reservations in November and December, so I’ve posted our holiday schedule on our website here. To accommodate all those who wish to dine with
us during the season, we will be opening on Monday, November 27, 2017 for dinner only and
will be open for lunch and dinner on Monday, December 11, 2017 and Monday, December 18, 2017. Celebrate the holiday season with our family at L’Auberge Chez François and Jacques’ Brasserie. We would be delighted to serve you!
Warm Wishes,
Chef Jacques and Paul Haeringer |
