Tuesday, November 2 – Sunday, November 7, 2010
Starting on October 19 for four weeks and ending November 14, Bistro Pastis will feature a special Paris at Pastis weekly three-course menu for only $45. Each menu focuses on a particular seasonal ingredient that can be found in the local street marchés that spring up all over the City of Light’s arrondisements. Bistro Pastis’ four weekly menus pay tribute to this ethos and present seasonal fare redolent of autumnal comfort.
Pears take the spotlight in Week Three (November 2 – November 7). Start with a classic Salade of Pears, Roquefort, Belgian Endive and Candied Walnuts or perhaps allow the Pear and Brie Tart to tempt you. Roasted Pear Soup is sure to provide comforting warmth on a damp day. Then move on to either Over-roasted Chicken Breast, Pear and Onion Tarte Tatin with Sage Jus or Sautéed Prawns, Fennel Risotto, Asian Pear Beurre Blanc or perhaps the classic pairing (sorry, we couldn’t resist) of Grilled Pork Chop with Pear and Brown Butter Purée. Dessert choices include Spiced Red Wine Poached Pear Crème Brulée or Poire Belle Hélène.
Known for its extensive wine cellar, Bistro Pastis will be offering a 25 per cent discount off its wine list for those who wish to enjoy un verre de vin with their ‘Parisian repas.’
Join us at Bistro Pastis for a little Parisian romance and comforting autumn fare. At only $45 per person, it’s a très bon marché and more economical than a plane ticket to Paris.
Reservations are always a good idea and can be made by calling 604-731-5020 or on-line at www.bistropastis.com
