Greetings!

Fitzmorris Eat Club at CDLWelcome to our September newsletter, where we make you the insider on specials, events, coupons and information about Chateau du Lac Bistro.
 
We have a lot of news to catch you up with this month.  Merci beaucoup to all of you who attended for a very successful "Julie & Julia" Tom Fitzmorris Eat Club Dinner.  Lots of people experienced our special way of "Bon Appetit" last Wednesday night here at Chateau du Lac.  Special thanks to you, Tom Fitzmorris, for your confidence in us.
 
Thank you,
Paige Saleun
 

RESTAURANT NEWS:
 
Fall Menu 
 
We will be implementing our Fall menu in September. Coming back in season are Chef's delicious mussels and frites, and his oysters with garlic herbs and parmesan butter.  Because Chef Jacques' foie gras terrine a la maison is such a huge success, we will always have it available in house.
 
Catering
 
When planning your holiday or any special events at Chateau du Lac or at your location of choice, please call us for custom menus and prices.  We will work with you, whether it's a buffet or seated lunch or dinner.  Chateau du Lac will be excited to help you plan your event.  We are offering three course menus, starting at just $30 ++ per person.  Call Paige Saleun at (504) 831-3773 for more information.
 
CDL Beers - LeffeNew Beer 
 
We have added a new beer to our import line.  Leffe Blonde Belgian Abbey Ale.  Next time you're having a beer, try Leffe.  Stay tuned for details about Chateau du Lac's Beer Tasting and Choucroute Fest, coming Thursday, October 1st for "Octoberfest".
 
Chef's House Made Specialty Jams
 
Chef Jacques has been busy in the kitchen, making and creating jams to sell by the jar.  Mouth watering flavors like pear, fig, plum, and coming soon - a fennel that has to be tasted to be believed!  Prices range from $6-10 a jar.
 
Walk-ins
 
Walk-ins are always welcome.  Don't feel like you have to have a reservation.  If it's a busy night, it's usually no more than a "one drink wait" at our friendly bar.
