The new Fall menu started last Thursday at Café Presse with the traditional menu tasting for our staff. We were all excited for the flavors of Fall after such a long hot summer and to see again some of our old favorites return to the menu (like oysters on the half shell and Soupe a l’oignon gratinee).
Now you can enjoy all the new dishes and old favorites yourself. Here are some photos to whet your appetite.
