If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
- ERNEST HEMINGWAY, to a friend, 1950
Welcome to Le Petite Paris, French Pop up restaurant taking over The Athenaeum Aberdeen.
London has enjoyed a burgeoning pop-up restaurant scene of late, and now we’re bringing the formula to Aberdeen, to launch the first of it’s kind to the city.
Headed up by Beetroot Restaurants’ multi Award winning Head Chef Chris Tonner, this event will faithfully recreate the ‘joie de vivre’ of Paris in the roaring 1920s.
Join us for three short days and nights, where you will be thrust into a scene from the wickedly sophisticated and morally bankrupt Paris of the era.
The mood will be laid-back, vibrant and impromptu - a snap shot of the Parisian scene made famous by writers, poets, patrons and lovers alike. The venue will evoke a chic Parisian bistro witha flavour of the Post-war excess, self-indulgence and sophisticated social scene-making of ‘l’Années Folles’.
Bringing a taste of gourmet French cuisine to Aberdeen, the imaginative set menu will represent the very best of the Beetroot Restaurants. The drinks lists are being completely rewritten to further immerse the senses into the artistically rough-around-the-edges Paris, with absinthe and chartreuse cocktails the feature.
Le Petite Paris at The Athenaeum will open for service on Saturday April 14th to Monday April 17th 2012. 12 noon.
The lunch menu (12-3pm) will feature a menu of typical French favourites.
Table bookings can be made either in person at The Athenaeum, or over the phone on 01224 595585.
Dinner (7-10pm) will be a gastronomic four course dinner with canapés and petite fours. Dinner service is a tickets only affair, and is priced at £45 per person, including wine.
Tickets will go on sale on Saturday 3rd March in The Athenaeum 11am, and can be bought either in person, or over the phone on 01224 595585.
Parisian sophistication and attire is fully encouraged!
