Les Soirées Gourmandes

Every sauce, every batter, every little detail you taste here is made by hand—no shortcuts, no pre-made deliveries, no compromises.

I choose each ingredient myself, carefully and intentionally, because what goes into the dish matters just as much as how it’s prepared.

It’s a way of cooking I learned growing up with my parents, and it’s something I’ve carried with me into every plate I serve.

For a limited time—over the course of three months—I’m inviting you into a slightly different experience.

On Fridays and Saturdays, with two intimate seatings at 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM, I offer menus that change with the seasons.

These menus are designed to surprise you, to gently take you away from what you already know, and introduce you to something new, something thoughtful, something crafted.

This isn’t the easiest way to cook.

My days are already full—preparing sweet crêpes, running the café, welcoming guests—but when the doors close, the real behind-the-scenes work begins.

Late evenings in the kitchen, testing, preparing, refining… it’s a lot. Truly.

And I’m not alone in this.

I’m lucky to have my husband Ed by my side—your host, your waiter, clearing your table, and even behind the sink when needed. He wears many hats, he even come picking out ingredients with me and his help makes all of this possible in ways that are hard to put into words.

But in the end, what makes it all worth it is you.

The quiet moment when you take that first bite. The smile. The conversation at the table. The simple, honest enjoyment of food made with care.

That’s why I do this.

Not just to cook—but to create something you can feel.
