WIN with LUXO and Bistro Michel

31 January 2016

Most of us only have an hour or two to spare for lunch on an average day at the office - but that doesn't mean you can't spend it in a Parisienne-style restaurant! Bistro Michel is the ultimate hotspot for foodies in Johannesburg and is located in the BluBird Shopping Centre. Bistro Michel is known for their elegant dinner menu, but chef Michel Morand wanted to offer their customers a delicious, fast and gourmet lunch menu that you can enjoy even when you have only a few minutes in between meetings!

“France is famous for its Plat du Jour which offers diners good food that is reasonably priced. I realised that there are a lot of working people in the area who only have an hour or less for lunch and want to have something quick but tasty to eat as well as affordably priced, so I've added both a Plat du Jour as well as a small range of gourmet hamburgers to our regular menu.”

The Plat du Jour is served at lunchtime from Tuesdays to Fridays and changes daily depending on seasonal ingredients and what takes the chef’s fancy. Expect typical French bistro dishes such as Chicken Cordon Bleu served with mushroom sauce and sautéed baby marrow Provencal; fish and chips served with tartare sauce; Shepherd’s Pie (a recreation of the one served at Michel’s previous establishment the legendary Gatrile’s) served with sautéed beans and traditional Parisian beef tartare with frites and a side salad. Price is R90 per person and includes coffee.
