Pierre Gagnaire children’s menu at Fouquet’s Brasserie
From the iconic flagship on the Champs-Elysées to the various Barrière destinations, Fouquet’s Brasserie can always be relied upon to charm and delight the gourmet palate. And Barrière will be tempting a particularly demanding and exacting clientele throughout the month of September: children. With a special Pierre Gagnaire menu, the Group is offering its youngest diners the opportunity to get a head start on sampling all that the French brasserie menu has to offer.
The family experience is extremely important to the Barrière Group, who strives to ensure that children and their parents share special moments together. Everyone gathers around the table, savouring dishes as they arrive, exploring new flavours and enjoying conversation.
With the young palate in mind, Fouquet’s pulls out all the stops with a special menu that features both the big classics and the food that children adore. In command as ever, Pierre Gagnaire wants to convey his passion for French cuisine and love of quality produce to children. The starter is prawns and sweetcorn with Comté cheese and beurre blanc. The main course - veal escalope cordon bleu – comes with a delicious side order of green vegetable and potato mash. And to finish: a smooth, airy chocolate mousse topped with vanilla ice cream.
Food presented in a whimsical way on the plate, an amusing illustrated menu, place mats for colouring in and prizes to win – we’ve thought of everything to enchant children up to the age of 12. There is a Barrière chef’s hat for budding chefs with every child’s menu purchased. This unique and very special offer also extends to cookery workshops and shows.
All of * Fouquet’s Brasseries in the Barrière Group will be offering this delicious, fun and balanced children’s menu from when they go back to school until the end of September.
The new offer comes as an enhancement to the Group’s Kids Barrière label, which is aimed at providing children with a tailor-made experience – just like their parents. A master at creating amazing moments for all the family and an ambassador of the French art de vivre, Barrière invites the whole family to explore the many delights of the brasserie menu.
* Menu available at Fouquet’s La Baule, Cannes, Toulouse, Marrakech and Enghien-les-Bains
