Bastille Day | July 14

Bleu Bohème’s 16th Anniversary extends to a festive Bastille Day party and will celebrate with half-price champagne cocktails and a selection of featured dishes.

Like Independence Day in the United States, Bastille Day, which commemorates the Storming of the Bastille in 1789 and Fête de la Fédération one year later, is traditionally celebrated with fireworks, cocktails and French cuisine.

Standout champagne cocktails include Kir Royal, with Crème de Cassis; La Brise de la Vallee, with lavender syrup; and Le Saint Germain, with wild elderflower liqueur.

Specialty dishes created in honor of the holiday include pistou soup of summer vegetables and basil, priced at $12.95; an entrée of locally caught bluefin tuna served with pommes puree, green beans and sauce vierge, priced at $45; and crêpes with red and blue seasonal berries, crème fraiche and caramel, priced at $12.95.
