Le Petit Marche

Remember Mom with a gift of our wonderful baked goods–perhaps a cookie plate or a box of French Macarons or an assortment of our delicious bars.  We will have these available on Saturday but please order ahead so we can create your own personal selection.

We are taking reservations for brunch on Mother’s Day.  We will be serving our regular brunch menu with some delicious specials too.  And, don’t forget, all mothers dining in on Sunday can enter to win either a silk scarf from Uzushio Silks or a pair of earrings from Triskele Moon Studios..

The ingredients are typical of Southern Italian cuisine: tomatoes, olive oil, olives, chili pepper, capers, garlic.  Served with bread & salad–$10.

Friday–Chicken and Peas Crepes with Spring Onion Sauce–Moist, flavorful chicken breast and English peas wrapped in a light crepe then covered with a rich wine & cream sauce flavored with spring onions & mushrooms.  Served with bread & salad, $11.25.
