THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE FOR MID WINTER BLUES
At the beginning of the year most of us are recovering from the excesses of the holiday season – both gastronomic and financial. The experts claim that the economic situation is still ‘fragile’ and tax time is just around the corner. It’s raining like crazy and you don’t really want to go for a run or work out at the gym. You just want to cocoon. How do you dispel such mid winter blues?
Enter John Blakeley and Bistro Pastis with a special Recession Remedy Menu aimed to tread lightly on your pocket book while paying big satisfaction dividends. The French know a thing or two about how to dine well on a little. They are experts at the art of stretching resources (be they Euros or ingredients) to maximize the pleasure quotient. This is the very principal at work in Bistro Pastis’ Recession Remedy Menu. Value priced at $24 for any two courses or $29 for all three, the menu gives patrons the greatest amount of flexibility, allowing you to custom design the size and content of your dinner. Don’t like dessert? Then opt for a starter and a main. Mains look too large? Then go for a starter and dessert.
The Menu features some of Bistro Pastis’ favourite bistro classics – Leek and Potato Soup, Coq au Vin, Steak Frites, Cod Normande, Crêpes Suzette to name a few. You can’t go wrong with choices such as these.
Pair them with John’s value-priced wines specials ($6.50 by the glass, $22 for a half litre and $32.50 for the whole bottle) selected from his cellar add Bistro Pastis’ crackling fireplace and … voila, your gloomy mood disappears as if by magic.
This month, give yourself a treat and book a table at Bistro Pastis. Cosy fireplace, impeccable service, value-priced wines and recession-proof menu. What more could you ask for?
