The Le Café de Paris’s original post said that, “April brings us to the northeast for a tour through Champagne, France for “French Region Night”. Known in particular for the sparkling white wines it produces, which also bear it’s name, it is one of the most fascinating and beautiful areas of France to visit. To celebrate this region we [hosted] a four-course dinner on Thursday, April 21 utilizing champagne in almost every course. This very decadent menu [was only] $39/person … Pop open a bottle of bubbly, and join us…” Now look at the following photos and see what constitutes a “… decadent menu”. Mathieu and his crew have done it again! No wonder we keep going back. This was a super special dinner. Salut!
