Six elegant courses of regional French delicacies, expertly paired and inspired by the luscious and sun-kissed region of Provençe!
Kermit Lynch wine brought to your table by Winegardner's Wines.
Menu created by Chef Abraham Risho at The Silk Road.

In the brilliant sunlight and Mediterranean climate, the cuisine of Provençe resembles more closely Italian cuisine than the bistro-fare of Paris. Provençe includes both the Rhône and Durance Valleys, and in addition to wine, the highly fertile agricultural culture produces a wide variety of sun-ripened vegetables, seafood, herbs & beans. You'll find our menu to be regionally inspired with old-world style and flavor.

After creating the menu comes an immense (but fun!) challenge: finding the right wine to pair perfectly with the food! We are still in the process of selecting the perfect Kermit Lynch wine, and will soon update this menu with our final pairings.
