8/28 – “A Grand Francais Dîner en Blanc” A Grand French Dinner in All-White Grand Soirée

Please join us on Friday, August 28th for L’Auberge Chez Francois’ Premiere “A Francais Dîner en Blanc” (A French Night of “All White” Grand Soiree)! Come dressed in your “All White Festive Attire” for our premiere, Diner en Blanc Grand Soirée!

Please join Chef Jacques Haeringer and his team on Friday, August 28th, at 6pm sharp, as we present our inaugural “Français Dîner en Blanc” Grand Soirée, an enchanting summer celebration inspired by the elegance of France’s famous outdoor white dinner gatherings. We invite you to dress in your finest all-white attire and spend an unforgettable evening with us beneath the stars, where French cuisine, exceptional white wines, beautiful gardens and warm hospitality come together for one magical night.

The festivities begin on La Petite Terrace, where guests will be welcomed with a sparkling cocktail reception featuring chilled Crémant d’Alsace, Mixologist Alberto’s refreshing White Coconut Garden Mojito, and an assortment of Chef Jacques’ seasonal passed garden summer canapés. Relax with friends, stroll our gardens, and enjoy the beauty of a late August evening while anticipation builds for the feast to come.

As the evening unfolds, we will gather beneath La Grande Tente, transformed into a sea of white. Chef Jacques and his Team have created for this evening, an elegant four-course French dinner celebrating the lighter flavors of summer, with each course paired with exceptional French white wines selected by our Sommelier.

We then commence the evening with a white napkin waving by all to begin this fun and delectable evening.

From the first spoonful of Chef’s Chilled Vichyssoise to our refreshing Chesapeake Lump Crab “Martini,” followed by Maine Halibut in delicate White Velouté, with Roasted Cauliflower, and concluding with Chef Pascal’s exquisite Valrhona White Chocolate Mousse accented with Passion Fruit, this promises to be a culinary experience celebrating the very best of French summer dining! (right here in Great Falls!)

Our “Français Dîner en Blanc” Grand Soirée is about much more than dinner. It is an evening of laughter, conversation, fine wines, elegant surroundings and memorable moments shared with fellow guests, all dressed in white beneath the glow of our beautifully illuminated tent.

As always, patrons will have the opportunity to purchase the evening’s featured wines at a special trade discount available exclusively this evening.

Wear white… raise a glass… celebrate summer the French way! Merci beaucoup et à bientôt!
