I booked a table for six at the Brasserie Zédel in London for our wedding anniversary (which is on the 14th of July), and it turned out that for Bastille Day, they have a special event. If you come dressed with a Breton top and a béret, you basically get a set meal for free.
It was hard work to convince our Australian and British friends to follow the dress code, but they enjoyed the event so much that they just cannot wait to wear the outfit again.
It was a fun night, and the food was delicious. I had never seen so many ‘béret’ hats and Breton tops in one go. The vegetarian option was unfortunately not as good (Some improvements are needed on that front), but (in our experience) it is equally difficult in France to find decent vegetarian or vegan food. So, please do share with us your recommendations if you have any.
We just know this lovely vegan pastry shop in Paris, and their cakes and pastries (‘viennoiseries’) are delicious.
