FESTIVE DINING
NOËL CHEZ JEAN-PIERRE
Celebrate the season as the timeless charm of a Parisian bistro meets the magic of the season at Jean-Pierre.

Begin with Hervé Ideale Oysters or a Terrine of Cahors Duck Foie Gras. For the main course, options include a Whole Loup de Mer en Croute, baked in puff pastry, or a pan-roasted Côte de Boeuf, designed to share. The meal concludes on a festive note with a tableside flambé of Omelette Norvégienne. Complement your dinner with selections from our holiday drinks, such as a glass of Philipponnat Champagne, a bottle of Château Cantemerle, or our Christmas Cocktail du Soir, the Kir Royal. It is a jubilant homage to the season, served with our signature French flair.
