Please please please get your Christmas orders in to us in good time.  We are particularly taking orders for:

Smoked Salmon Sides
fully trimmed and sliced (average weight 2lbs) £9.90 per lb

Fresh Seafood Platters
price depends on composition and number of guests (see the seafood section of our Plats du Jour page for ideas and photos).
 

Cheese and Wine. We will be keeping up our full range of excellent French (and a few other) Cheeses. Our full list of wines page will be supplemented by Special Offers and a number of Christmas lines. We have already found a superb luscious Sauternes. 
Fresh Bread & Croissants baked on the premises every day we open. Yes fresh French croissants and bread on Christmas day (until we run out). See also our new bread and patisserie page.  Home-made Truffes au Chocolat are planned again (Chef du Chocolat: Jean-Bernard).
 
Galettes des Rois£7.50 each

This is one of the most popular eating traditions in France that takes place in January every year. A "feve" - a small china figurine - is hidden in the galette before baking. The lucky guest who gets the feve is crowned king and is in charge of supplying a new galette for the next social gathering. This takes place all over France in every family, between friends and work colleagues. The children absolutely love the game and the adults will love the lightness of the butter puff pastry combined with a delicate almond cream.

 
All our regular dishes and desserts will be available, 
ranging from 
Moules marinieres, Choucroute Garnie to Tartes, Miroirs etc.
(see also the meat, fish and Plat du Jour page.)
