Jules Bistro – 10 Year Anniversary with special price menu.

February 6th marks ten years since Jules Bistro first opened its doors and to celebrate Chef/Owner Emmanuel Joinville is offering a special price for the Table D’Hote menu from February 7-12.

To celebrate a decade of cuisine, Jules Bistro will be serving Table D’Hote menu for lunch and dinner from ‪February 7-12. The three-course anniversary menu will begin in classic French style with the choice of a salad or soup du jour. Thereafter guests can choose from three entree dishes; 8 oz ribeye steak in the sauce of your choice, pan seared salmon Provençal or mussels. All entrees are served with frites. To finish, Chef Joinville has prepared a decadent chocolate terrine.

Prices for the Table D’Hote menu are currently $31 for lunch and $33 for dinner. However special occasions call for special measures and guests will be able to enjoy the three-course menu for $21 for lunch and $23 for dinner; these were the original prices set a decade ago when Jules Bistro first opened.

Van Django is an acoustic string ensemble made up of four of Canada’s most talented and eclectic musicians; violinist Cameron Wilson, guitarist Budge Schachte, guitarist/cellist Finn Manniche and bassist Brent Gubbels.

Van Django’s music is well-rooted in the gypsy jazz of 1930’s Paris France, but beyond that it’s all pure blue-skying; flights of dazzling fancy, driving rhythms and boundless creativity featuring original compositions and arrangements including humorous mash-ups that showcase their eclectic influences in full regalia.
