Garden Museum Café | Tour de France: Burgundy

A celebration of regional French cooking on Friday nights throughout January and February. From Burgundy, to Brittany & Normandy, Alsace-Lorraine & beyond!

Once the Christmas festivities have been and gone and the new year has begun, it is customary to make pledges for a healthier and more prudent lifestyle. A noble endeavour, but often accompanied by a lack of balance, a sense of ennui, and an inevitable straying from the too strict and stringent path we set ourselves.

We have just the antidote.

On Friday evenings throughout January and February the Garden Museum Café will be running a series of dinners celebrating the regional cooking of France, to restore strength and sooth the soul through the cold and troublesome weeks of Winter.

Head Chef Myles Donaldson will be taking us on a tour of some of his favourite French provinces, show casing some of the authentic cuisine and traditional dishes that have inspired his cooking over the years.

Each week the menu will be prix fixe – three courses for £29.

Our Tour de France series begins in Burgundy, an historic province of great culinary and winemaking prestige, the influence of which is felt across France and beyond.

Our prix fixe menu will celebrate some of the lesser-known dishes of Burgundian cuisine, classically luxurious, but complimented by the elegance and refinement for which the area is famous.

We’ll be running a small wine list alongside, showcasing some the region’s most exciting young producers.
