The Northwest celebrates Bastille Day

Posted

Matines Cafe, at 89 Bethlehem Pike in Chestnut Hill, is celebrating Bastille Day on Sunday, July 14, with live music on the patio, including two accordionists playing classic French songs and brand new retail from France. Other local vendors will include Flower Mama (flower truck), Hilltop Bookstore and the jewelry stand Tombino. Guests will be invited to spin a wheel for a chance to win a free mimosa, a French beret, a free pastry or a glass of wine.

At Jansen, located at 7402 Germantown Ave., Chef David Jansen is marking the occasion by offering a limited-time Bastille Week menu that started Tuesday, July 9, and continues through Friday, July 12. Guests can enjoy a carefully curated, three course prix fixe menu that includes such French classics as coq au vin. We’re sure Julia Child would be proud.
