Burswood’s Atrium Restaurant has decided to embrace France’s Bastille Day celebrations by transforming its buffet into a French banquet.

The chefs will be cooking Parisian-style dishes, and not just on July 14. The French fare will be available from July 13 to July 22.

Of course, several Perth restaurants serving French cuisine all year round are worth a visit. Renowned French restaurant The Loose Box and Wembley’s Bouchon Bistro offer the finest tastes of France, while French-inspired bistro Must Winebar will showcase French wines and classic French dishes for its annual Bastille Day celebrations.

France’s champagne houses will be the focus of a special dinner at Fraser’s Restaurant on July 26.

While not a Bastille Day event, the dinner is part of a national program hosted by the 2007 Lexus young chef and waiter team and Vogue Entertaining and Travel. A five-course degustation menu created by Fraser’s chef Chris Taylor incorporating duck, truffles and oysters will be served alongside a selection of champagnes.
