The Fourth of July may be all about the BBQ and Apple Pie, but France’s Bastille Day calls for cuisine with a bit more ‘je’nes se quoi’. Stepping up to the plate is favorite French restaurant, Mon Ami Gabi with Bastille Day specials lasting all week long from Thursday, July 12th through Wednesday, July 18th.

Diners who crave traditional yet approachable French fare will love trying a fabulous line up of new Bastille Day menu items at Mon Ami Gabi Bethesda (7239 Woodmont Avenue) or Reston (11950 Democracy Drive). The menu includes a refreshingly light Chilled Pea Soup with Radish and Mint ($6.95) and a peppery Arugula Salad with Duck Confit and Grilled Peach ($11.95). Also available is the classically refined Bouillabaisse teeming with fresh seafood and smoky Rouille ($28.95). Finally, toast to France’s independence with an extra special dessert – the Lemon Tart with Market Raspberries ($6.95). If these enticing options aren’t enough, guests can always order their favorites, like the popular Steak Frites, off of the regular menu as well.
