The meal begins with French Onion Soup, a classic that never fails to warm the soul.

The main course, Steak Frites with Filet Mignon, is a testament to the time-honored traditions of French cooking.

The pomme purée, silky and rich, serves as a luxurious companion to the meal, each forkful a creamy delight.
To accompany this feast, a 1664 Kronenbourg is the beverage of choice. This lager, with its crisp and slightly hoppy profile, is the quintessential French beer. It complements the richness of the meal beautifully, cleansing the palate and preparing you for the next delicious bite.
