My husband and I were downtown yesterday to provision more food for our boat trip, but decided we had to have a little treat before heading out, and the staff was super friendly and quick.

Overview

Bring a bit of the French seaside to your home with this immersive culinary experience. As you cook alongside a professional chef, you’ll be transported to charming bistros by the shore, letting the sea breeze guide you through an intimate culinary journey.

Get hands-on in the kitchen with crispy moules frites. Toss a classic frisée salad with crispy lardons and a perfectly poached egg. Then learn how to whip up rich, silky chocolate mousse from scratch.
