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, 
Moules marinieres, Choucroute Garnie, Tartes, Miroirs etc.
(see also the meat, fish and Plat du Jour page.)
