Haven’t gotten enough independence celebration for the month? Bastille Day is next Saturday, July 14th. There are well over 100 French restaurants in the city, and it’s probably safe to say that the majority of them will be celebrating “Fête Nationale.” Unlike, say the Fourth of July, Bastille Day is a great “holiday” for food-lovers, for the simple fact that it’s a great opportunity to celebrate the inimitable French bistro fare.
Some of our favorite bistros include Chez Maman, Clementine and Zazie; if you just want a quick taste of France, we recommend a quick pastry or tartine at either Tartine Bakery or the newly-opened A Bon Port.
At Cafe Claude, there will be a special prix-fixe menu. Continuing our habit of revealing holiday menus before they drop, we have an menu from Cafe Claude that is sure to impress you. There’s even a palate cleanser or two…
