Roses smell fine Candy tastes sweet But a romantic repast Is a much better treat
Romantic celebrations are a tradition at L’Auberge Chez François, you might even say that they are our raison d’etre. Our philosophy is that life’s memorable moments are not complete without a festive meal. Many couples return to L’Auberge year after year to renew and reaffirm the romance in their lives. We supply the cuisine, ambience, service, and wine: you bring your own romantic magic. February is, of course, the month for romance and we’re hosting several special events that will help you celebrate that special someone in your life. On the menu will be Champagne, aphrodisiacs, passionfruit and passion itself. Come enjoy a delicious meal and a little romance at our slice of France, right here in Great Falls, Virginia.
Carnivore Lovers’ Cooking Demonstration and Luncheon
Please join Chef Jacques on Friday, February 10, 2017 at 11:00am for his popular Carnivore Lovers’ Valentine Cooking Demonstration and Luncheon. Preparing a repast for your special someone is an act of love and Chef Jacques will show you how to prepare a fabulous meal, for your special someone. The romantic menu features our Cave-aged Gruyère Cheese, Applewood Bacon and Virginia Ham Tart, Creekstone Farms’ Filet Mignon prepared with a rich truffle sauce, and – a certain aphrodisiac – a decadent Valrhrona Chocolate Truffle Soufflé. Oh la la! Love really does begin in the kitchen!
Please join us on Monday, February 13, 2017 at 7:00pm for our Champagne Lovers’ Dinner. While Champagne is popularly thought of as a wine for special occasions, its true fans know that it is made in a range of styles, and complements a greater variety of dishes than any other. For ambience, the evening boasts the romantic music of classical guitarist Alexander Barnett, who performs an extensive repertoire of classical and jazz music. For cuisine, we begin with delectable seasonal canapés and our Passionflower Cocktail, followed by Chef Jacques’ exquisite menu of la cuisine romantique.
Seafood Lovers’ Cooking Demonstration and Luncheon
