La Fête Des Mères - A Culinary Tribute To The Mothers Of French Cuisine

Cost: $112.25

Join us for a special evening of culinary celebration on Tuesday, March 24, at 6:30 PM, as we honor the women chefs who have profoundly influenced French cuisine throughout history. In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re spotlighting the remarkable Mères of Lyon, a legendary group of women whose culinary contributions shaped the French food scene we know and love today.

This three-course dinner, crafted by Executive Chef Amanda Langler, will showcase dishes inspired by these iconic women—each one a pioneer in French gastronomy. From the hearty, comforting cuisine of Mère Bizollon, known as 'The Mother of Soldiers' for nourishing Lyon's silk workers, to the generous spirit of Mère Brigousse, 'The Mother of Love,' every course pays tribute to their culinary legacy. Mère Quinton, celebrated as 'La Belle Meunière,' will inspire dishes reflecting her elegant riverside traditions, while the legendary Mère Poulard will be honored with her iconic shortbread cookies gifted as post-dinner petit fours. All courses will be paired with carefully selected French wines by Certified Sommelier Mariana Popescu.

As we honor these legendary women, we celebrate not only their contributions to French cuisine but the mark they left on the entire food world. Many male chefs, including modern icons like Paul Bocuse and Georges Blanc, got their start in the kitchens of these trailblazing women, helping to solidify Lyon as the gastronomic capital of the world.

This evening promises to be a unique experience where history and exceptional cuisine converge to honor the mothers of French cooking and the continuing legacy of women in the culinary world. Make your reservation today and be part of this remarkable evening.
