| Christophe’s
pre-theater menu is offered Tuesday - Friday between 5:30 and
6:00 p.m. and on Saturdays when there is a show at the Vergennes
Opera House. Guests have a choice of any appetizer, any entrée
as well as any dessert for $35.00. |
Christophe describes his food as “innovative country
French”. With an emphasis first on ingredients
and taste, then on presentation, Christophe combines the flavors
and techniques of traditional French dishes and accents them
with finest seafood, local produce and meats to create truly
French inspired seasonal menus. Chef Lissarrague likes to “twist
tradition” and transform traditional dishes into items
such as: Portebello Mushroom Tarte Tatin with Comté Cheese
Flan; Basque Piperade served as a Warm Tart; Boned Leg of Lamb
is served as Morsels with a Paloise Sauce (a variation of Béarnaise
from the city of Pau, France); Cod Brandade becomes filling
for Anaheim Peppers and the Crème Brulée is infused
with Fresh Ginger. |
