La Coupole in Paris | Can't get away for vacation? Have a taste of France right here at Chateau du Lac...
Stepping into Chateau du Lac is as close to Paris as many of us will get for a while, so we always make it a memorable dining event. Come by with friends and relax in the only true French bistrot in town (yes, in France it is actualy spelled with a silent "t") Currently, Chateau du Lac has the only authentic French chef cooking in New Orleans. All of our menu items are prepared to the highest French standards by Chef Jacques, born and trained in France. So take a mini-vacation right around the corner and have a taste of France right here with us. Bon appetit!
Mark Your Calendar: We will be closed July 5-7th for the 4th of July holiday.
The FIFA World Cup 2010 final is on July 11th.
Bastille Day is July 14th.
Chateau du Lac is showing the FIFA World Cup 2010 matches daily at our bar. Come have a FIFA lunch with us!
New Menu Items!
Cous Cous Andre - This is a North African style dish, a style known for its healthy ingredients, in part because it doesn't require cream or butter. Chef stews chicken and lamb in a special broth of seasonings then adds cous cous so the hearty flavors come through. According to Chef Jacques, "It has a full taste, yet is light and healthy." Available on Fridays in July here at Chateau du Lac.
Our Filet Mignon Burger - We want to remind you that the Chateau du Lac burger is the only filet mignon burger for miles around. It is freshly ground "a la minute" and we are proud to insist that is the finest burger you might ever eat. Red Beans - Chateau du Lac Style on Mondays has been continued in July. Red beans and rice is a New Orleans French creole tradition. Now you can enjoy it here - served with pickled meat and sausage, seasoned up in Chateau du Lac style - as only we can do it. If you thought you've eaten really good red beans and rice before, come try Chef Jacques' secret recipe. You'll never think of Red Beans and Rice the same way again.

| AU REVOIR | | |
Dear Friends, USA Soccer Team | Since this July is a month of celebrating here at Chateau du Lac, I'd like to personally invite you to drop by... Bastille Day on the 14th is really special for all those French reasons, of course. Since Chef Jacques is a native of France, he makes it very festive. In fact, it flavors our whole month. Also, we're feeling very continental, enjoying all the FIFA World Cup 2010 soccer games every day on our video monitors at the bar. Drop on over and cheer for the home team with us.
Next month, I'll present news about a project very dear to my heart, the new French school, Lycee Francais de la Nouvelle Orleans.
We love getting your feedback and suggestions. Thanks for keeping our communiation open! Call or email me at any time at chateaudulac@aol.com
