Greetings from L’Auberge Chez François and Jacques Brasserie:

The upcoming holidays are here at L’Auberge Chez François and Jacques’ Brasserie; our favorite time of the year. Even though this year feels a little bit different, we remain committed to making your dining experience safe, yet still a magical one you will remember.

The extraordinary holiday decorations are being put into place. Our three fireplaces will be roaring inside to warm you and, for those who love cozying up outside, our firewood is stocked for our Jacques’ Brasserie fire-pit. On our specialty cocktail menu is our hot spiced mulled wine and spiced Virginia ciders, perfect for warming the soul.

We’ve added our famous pumpkin mousse cake to the dessert menu this month, and Papa’s traditional yule log will be available just after Thanksgiving. We’ve also added a series of meals ‘Chez Vous’ (To Go), so you can enjoy our meals from the comfort of your own home if you choose.

Our November premier, socially-distanced events are nearly sold out (we have just a few tables remaining at our Grand Boisset Wine Tasting & Dinner next Thursday), but we will be releasing our December events lineup very soon.

As a friendly reminder, we have taken several additional measures in our restaurant. All of our dining options are in socially-distanced rooms (seven feet and more) with high ceilings and new HVAC upgrades. Our dedicated staff, in masks and gloves, limit interactions to only those that are necessary. We are following recommended safety protocols by the CDC to keep your dining experience safe and enjoyable. To view our in-person dining holiday schedule and hours of operation please click here.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families! All of us at L’Auberge Chez François and Jacques’ Brasserie hope to see you during the upcoming holiday season.

Until next month,
Chef Jacques, Paul Haeringer, and the L’Auberge Chez François and Jacques’ Brasserie team

“‘L’Auberge Chez François & Jacques’ Brasserie—Keeper of Memories’ Set on six acres of the bucolic Great Falls countryside, L’Auberge Chez François and Jacques’ Brasserie offer room to roam—and plenty of space for social distancing. Chef Jacques Haeringer’s raison d’être is to share his love of good food and wine. This is still the place to celebrate the moments of your life.”

-Viva Tysons

“For a French country escape try L’Auberge Chez François in Great Falls, which serves an elegant weekend luncheon. Classic dishes like lobster bisque and beef bourguignon can be ordered a la carte or as part of a generous prix-fixe in the lovely garden.”

-Washingtonian Magazine
