The Popote restaurant closed its doors last December to make way for culinary workshops. These are convivial moments and, for a professional like me, true opportunities for sharing and culinary connection.

Today, I’m introducing a new concept where friendliness and togetherness remain the guiding principles of such an event.

It’s scheduled for May 16th — just a few days before The Popote’s 10th anniversary.

I invite you to an evening full of activities, a blend between a cooking workshop and restaurant-style service.

On the program:

Act 1: A homemade welcome aperitif.

Act 2: A host’s table set specially for the occasion awaits you. Choose your seat among the 14 available places. This evening is a great opportunity to meet fellow food lovers and share ideas and conversations.

Act 3: But before sitting down, join in the final preparations — plating each course as it comes out. It’s a complete, seasonal and surprise menu meant to nourish you. Table service is within your reach if you’re willing to give it a try by my side. You'll see — it can be fun!

Act 4

Scene 1: Let’s discover the wines chosen to pair with the menu. The selection will be guided by the expert advice of a professional wine merchant. We collaborate with this expert every last Friday of the month for a playful and sensory wine experience.

Scene 2: I’ll walk you through the menu and the ingredients I used — including our house-made spices and condiments.

Act 5: Time to sit down and enjoy! Let’s move on to the first course, then the next — with or without your help. Participation is not required.

INTERMISSION

A little surprise game.

Act 6: Dessert is served and the show comes to an end. I can hang up my apron!

Let’s stay together a bit longer — your feedback will be my greatest reward.

Please plan to stay at least 2 hours and make sure to register in advance — for yourself or with friends. Registration is simple and just a little further down the page.

To find out more, feel free to call me Monday to Saturday during business hours.

Stay updated through our social media and our community group "Les amis de The Popote" on Facebook.
