Cheese Heaven at Le Bouchon Breton
Two offers for the spring season from Le Bouchon Breton

Cheese Heaven at Le Bouchon Breton
When it comes to cheese and wine the French really know their onions.
Le Bouchon Breton situated in Old Spitalfieds Market have got a cracking offer on at the moment for all you bon viveurs who love to indulge. Over the next few weeks they are holding several Cheese Master Classes. The idea is that you get to try a whole host of fromages (ten in total) which have then been paired with marvellous wines. We tucked into a whole array of wonderful tastes and flavours, each cheese having been ripened to perfection (and served with lashings of crusty baguette) making the whole experience exhilarating as well as educational. Throughout the evening we tasted both cows and goats cheeses, including a creamy Murol, and perfumed Savarin with truffles. The wines on offer included a sharp and flinty Pouilly Fume and a fabulous 1er cru Louis Michel Chablis, all blending superbly. Staff are enthusiastic and attentive and can provide detailed knowledge on the subject. This really was an evening to savour and one I would thoroughly recommend.
The Master Class costs £50.00

Festival de la Mer at Le Bouchon Breton
March /April 2009
Now that spring seems to definitely be on its way it’s time to celebrate. Le Bouchon Breton is launching its Festival de la Mer. A seafood extravaganza “Festival menu” with a fish based theme that includes Sabayon glazed warmed oysters, a traditional and hearty bouillabaisse followed by Oeuf a la neige with crème Anglais. A ½ bottle of white Burgundy (Macon) per person is included and at £25.00 per head seems a relative snip. If that doesn’t grab you how about ordering a Plateau Imperial? This features a fabulous selection of Brittany seafood for two and includes a complimentary bottle of Henriot Champagne all for just £58.00. Alternatively when you order any bottle of champagne from the bar they are offering ½ a dozen oysters on the house. Sounds like an offer worth
pursuing.
