Special Events
September at Bistrot La Minette
WE WILL BE CLOSED ON SEPTEMBER 6, LABOR DAY.
THE BEST OF PHILLY FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!!!
Last year, they honored us with the best outdoor dining in Philly. Again, Chef Peter had been honored by PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINES’s annual BEST OF issue, this year for the Best Desserts in Philly. They say “This is not the place for abstaining from the final course.” They're right, of course. Indulge in our Peach Tart with Apricot Sorbet, or 11 perfect layers of Gateau l'Opera or a bunch of other sweet bites. Don't forget the house-made ice cream and sorbet!
SEPTEMBER IS LA MINETTE RESTAURANT MONTH
It may be Center City restaurant week in September, but we have the best deal in town all month! 3 courses for $30; with wine pairings, $42, Sunday–Friday. We're bringing back some of your favorites. If you're looking for our Lapin à la Moutarde, we won't do that this time, but hope to put it on the menu again in the future. See the menu here…
BURGUNDY DINNER, SEPTEMBER 22 AND 23
On Wednesday Sept. 22 and Thursday Sept. 23, we will take a short trip to Burgundy, the home of Chef Peter's wife's family. Many experts regard the cuisine and wines of Burgundy as the best in France. This region has some of the world's best vineyards and wines, and the farms and rivers have, for centuries, produced a rich choice of superb ingredients for the cuisine. You can see the menu here…
4 courses $35; with wine pairings, $50
DINNER AND A MOVIE AL FRESCO CONTINUES
We show French movies every Monday and Thursday through September in our Garden Courtyard. Screening is at 8:30, so make your dinner reservations for earlier than that. Many showings sold out last year, so if one of your favorites is showing, make your reservations early.
