Bastille Day July 14th 2014 – “Allons enfants de la Patrie, le jour de gloire…”

For more than 200 years the French have been celebrating the storming of the Bastille as a national holiday – a time of sharing good food and wine with friends and neighbours. Vancouver’s very own corner of France, Bistro Pastis in Kitsilano, is celebration central with its annual Fête de la Bastille on July 14th.

This year Pastis will be hosting live the amazing French singer; Pepper Bayard, performing jazzy and french classics!

To add to the celebration, you might be one of two lucky patrons to win the luxury of having John Blakeley visit your home to personally cook a 5-Course tasty menu for six people. One draw from each dinner seating will produce the fortunate winners who will have John delight them and their company with his culinary flair.

You never know, you may be asked to join in the singing!
