Bastille Weekend at C'est Bon
Woolloongaba's resident French eatery is celebrating its favourite occasion with multi-course French feasts — including one with bottomless baguettes.
Overview
The best way to celebrate any occasion is also usually the tastiest way to celebrate any occasion: by eating, drinking and being merry. So, for Bastille Day, that means indulging in a French spread of beverages and bites. Obviously, that's what's on offer at Woolloongabba's C'est Bon.
As the inner-city suburb's resident French restaurant, taking cues from Paris is always on the menu here — but the eatery is putting on special events, plating up themed menus and pouring colourful cocktails to really get into the spirit of the day. In fact, it's serving up so much French-themed deliciousness that it hasn't been able to confine it all to just Sunday, July 14, with C'est Bon hosting a Bastille Weekend until from Friday, July 12.
It all starts with shared dinners on the Friday and Saturday evenings, with a shared menu on offer from 5pm. You'll pay $89 per person for a range of dishes that hero traditional flavours, complete with bottomless baguettes for bread fiends — plus complimentary crepe suzette.
For lunch on the Saturday, the champagne will be popping in the restaurant's cellar, where a snack, four courses and petit four will all get their own French bubbles to pair. For $195 per person, you'll be tucking into smoked foie gras and laminated brioche, for instance — and other bites include Queensland red claw thermidor, Murray cod with mussel farci and nettle velouté, a rabbit dish, a pain d'Épice savarin and parsnip ice crème, and a mont blanc choux bun.
Then, on the big day itself, your Sunday session can span another French shared menu — this one with twice-baked crab souffle, dry-aged duck a l'orange and more — over jazz tunes. It also costs $89 per person and again ends with crepe suzette.
