Left Bank Larkspur Hosts French-German Friendship Dinner

Left Bank Brasserie Larkspur To Host A French-German Friendship Dinner

Amitié Franco-Allemande
Deutsch Französische Freundschaft

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
(also to be repeated on March 31 and April 21)

$34.00 for a three-course prix fixe dinner.

The prix fixe menu is served 5:00 to 10:00 pm in addition to the regular menu.

With two world wars but then the formation of the European Union, the French-German relationship has had its ups and downs in the 20th century. What would have been unthinkable 60 years ago has now become a reality: a friendship and strong collaboration in support of peace and prosperity; with the two countries being called the ‘twin engines’ in regards to the Euro, the Airbus and many other aspect of the today’s world.

Left Bank Brasserie in Larkspur has another example of French-German cooperation: an authentic Parisian brasserie with German born Chef Sean Canavan leading the kitchen team. Chef Canavan’s culinary creativity reflects the influences of his German training, while his family has strong ties to France and he has enjoyed a long working relationship with Chef Roland Passot, whom he met over 15 years ago.

In the spirit of “Amitie Franco-Allemande” the restaurant invites guests to enjoy an evening of German food, wine and beer.
