All over France on Thursday, people will be celebrating the day when bottles of this year's Beaujolais Nouveau wine hit the shelves.

This young wine, Beaujolais Nouveau, it is on the shelves between six to eight weeks after the grapes are harvested. The release date of the Beaujolais was established in 1985. It was decided that the third Thursday in November would be the uniform release date. The main festival is in Lyon where barrels of Beaujolais Nouveau wine are rolled by wine-growers through the centre before being opened.

Join us on November 21: Promptly at 6:00 pm, around the Bar at Suzette's, Mayor Suess will be toasting the blessing of this year's Harvest with the Beaujolais Nouveau. Linger around the bar or stay for dinner. Enjoy the company. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the wine.

Cinco de Mayo | Why is it appropriate to celebrate Cinco de Mayo at a French Restaurant?

May 3–5, 2024

A few weeks ago I was in Puebla, Mexico. I learned some very interesting facts about Mexico including the real celebration of Cinco de Mayo. It is actually a celebration of the Battle of Puebla. 

On May 5, 1862 a small group of rag tag Mexicans fought a larger army of trained French soldiers near Puebla. The French were fighting to conquer Mexico to create the Second Empire of Mexico under French Rule. However, before the day was over this smaller group of very brave and cunning Mexicans sent the French running and they saved Mexico from French rule. A year later Napoleon III sent reinforcements to Mexico and they were able to conquer the Mexicans and the Second Empire of Mexico under Maximilian I began. 

Years later President Roosevelt wanted to build the bonds with our neighbors and have an opportunity to celebrate Mexican food and culture. He chose Cinco de Mayo to honor our neighbors to the south. 

Today Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated in the United States with chips and salsa and margaritas. In Mexico it is celebrated in Puebla as a victory against the French with authentic regional Mexican food of Molé, Chalupas, Flan and Hibiscus Margaritas. 

Friday, May 3 through Sunday May 5, Suzette's will be celebrating the tenacity and bravery of those Soldiers of Puebla with an authentic Molé Dinner and other Specialties of Puebla prepared by Chef Alex.

Suzette's Warhol Tribute

We had such a great time celebrating the work of Andy Warhol

With over 752 food images on Shutterstock, Andy Warhol was definitely a “foodie”. Perhaps because just months after his first birthday there was the great market crash of 1929 and food was scarce. Or because his father died when he was 14 and he and his mother and older brothers had to be the family providers. The deprivation of his youth influenced him later on in his life. He once said…”Food is my great extravagance—my leftovers are often grand. My hairdresser’s cat eats pâté at least twice a week.”

Not only was he a “foodie” but Warhol was also the quintessential New Yorker. He lived in New York. He loved New York. He barely ventured beyond New York but for one exception. He also had an apartment in Paris, in Saint Germain des Prés of the 6th arrondissement on the left bank. It was the home of literary legends, artists and philosophers. The Paris of the 1960’s adored him and were very affirming to his style of art. He was also adoring of the French and upon meeting Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Berge in 1968 he declared it was one of the best days of his life. Haute Couture, the love of caviar and the luxuries of life filled his days in Paris. His neighborhood was known for its many small bistros and cafés of which he frequented often. This can be confirmed by his pâté loving hairdresser’s cat.

So for a complete immersion into the life of Andy Warhol, we would like to cordially invite you to experience Suzette’s. It’s just a small French bistro in Historic Downtown Wheaton but it is so similar to the ones that Andy Warhol frequented in his Parisian neighborhood. And besides, where else can you get the best pâté outside of Paris? Suzette’s, of course. Meow.

New Wine and Food Pairing Class at Suzette's L'École

The Many Faces of Pinot Noir

When you mention French Pinot Noir most folks naturally think BURGUNDY! Yes, it's true red burgundy is made exclusively from the pinot noir grape, but most don't realize that other regions of France can and do make wine from this ancient, indigenous varietal. I have chosen a selection of delicious examples of French pinot noir grown and produced outside of the Burgundy appellation and look forward to introducing you to these little known gems. We will also talk about the history of pinot noir in France and why it consistently fetches the highest prices in the wine world! These wines will be paired with a complementing three course tasting menu. Please join me for a fun and informative evening. Six Wine, Three Course Menu. Cost: $110 per person plus gratuity.

March 23, 6–9:00 pm | Instructor Anton Maletic | Cost per class: $110 per person plus gratuity.

Beaujolais Nouveau Was a Splash!

Thursday, November 17th, 2022

Beaujolais Nouveau Day is a French holiday that takes place on the third Thursday of November every year. This year, it is celebrated on Thursday, November 17.

Historically, Beaujolais Nouveau was made to celebrate the end of harvest. Beaujolais farmers first celebrated it in the 19th century. The wine was released early on the third Thursday in November—just after midnight, to be exact. This quickly became known as “Beaujolais Nouveau Day” and was marked with races to get bottles of the new wine to markets all across the globe.

This young wine is fermented for only a few weeks using the purple-colored Gamay grape grown exclusively in the Beaujolais sub-region of Burgundy. This makes it a ‘nouveau’ or ‘vin de primeur,’ a wine harvested for sale in the same year.

Thanks to those who stopped by Suzette's Thursday, November 17th, to celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau Day with a toast to the new harvest! We were honored to have Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess join us for this special celebration.

A Taste of Frida's México—A Summer of Memories

She explored the flavors, aromas and colors of México City and shared what she found with hungry patrons!

We hope you enjoyed our French Family Meal. Watch for its return in the future.

Thank you for all who ordered this special. We are glad to help foster the love of French cuisine in the up-and-coming generation!

The story of Family Meal Week at Suzette's: A customer emailed and asked us to put together a Family Meal because she wanted to introduce her young children to French Food. That made our hearts happy. So here it is!

Our Family Meal for Four starts out with a Baby Field Greens SALADE with Mandarin Oranges and Slivered Almonds. A small container of our Suzette's Balsamic Vinaigrette is included.

Your main entree is, of course, CREPES! You have one choice of crepe filling; Beef Bourguignon, Chicken with Mushrooms or Roasted Vegetables with Feta Cheese. The filling you choose is packaged separately along with a container of crepes and you assemble the crepes at home. You can request regular or gluten free crepes. The only filling that is gluten free is the Roasted Vegetable. We know with children there are many variables to consider in getting dinner together so we are making sure you have extra crepes in the event you need to turn to something else to fill the crepe.

And then there is DESSERT! A beautiful French Tart for Four filled with a quintessential French Filling—Pear Frangipane. That would be poached pears with an Almond Filling baked in a buttery shortbread crust. To glid the lily a little and make your family love French Food forever, we are also including 4 assorted French Macarons which, by the way are gluten free.

This lovely French meal cost $55.00. If you would like to enhance the meal we might suggest a baguette, croissants—butter, chocolate, strawberry or blueberry or maybe to stretch it to feed more a Quiche. Quiche are $25 for a whole quiche or $5.50 per slice. Available is Quiche Lorraine, Spinach, Ham and Asparagus or Broccoli Cheese which has no meat.

(This promotion is closed, for now.)

Feb. 2–7, 2021: Tuesday and Wednesday please order by 1 pm for a pick up as late as 5 pm. Thursday–Saturday the family meal is available for pick up until 7 pm and on Sunday it is available for pickup as late as 2 pm

Salade Composée—Explore the French Countryside!

For a limited time, Salade Composée is Back! Call 630.462.0898 to order your favorites.

A composed salad in France is a work of art—satisfying not only the eye but also the palate. Freshness, color, texture and taste create the perfect salad, which is only enhanced by a slice of good baguette and a glass of Rosé or nice dry, minerally French White Wine.

In France, knowing the name of the salad equals knowing what is in the salad itself. Since these composed salads represent different regions of France, the specialty of that region shines through the ingredients.

These salads are large enough to enjoy as a main course or great to share. So fasten up your seat belts and let’s start the Tour de France—salade style.

	Salade Limousin The Limousin is part of the beautiful southwestern French Countryside, known for their Limousin beef. This salad features slices of roast beef, salade de Pomme de Terre or French Potato Salad with cornichons and haricot verts tossed with whole grain mustard vinaigrette. Roasted red beets, crumbled blue cheese, walnuts and mixed field greens finish up this exquisite salad. $18.50
	Salade Provençal Provence is home to world-renowned lavender fields, rolling vineyards and olive groves. Its salad boasts three discs of goat cheese on baguette slices toasted, then drizzled with honey, roasted beet salad, walnuts and chickpeas provençal with mixed greens, haricot verts and a tasty olive mix. $17.50
	Salade Niçoise Nestled in the French Riviera, the city of Nice has olives so famous this salad is named after them. Our salad has baby greens, oil-packed tuna, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, haricot verts, boiled potatoes, housemade croutons for crunch and, of course, plenty of Niçoise olives. A classic! $17.50
	Salade Camargue The Camargue is in the delta region of the Rhone River in southern Provence. This region is known for its rice, sea salt, paella and cowboys on white horses herding black bulls. This salad features an Orzo Salad with assorted peppers, black olives and other fresh summer vegetables and our chickpeas provençal. Boiled egg wedges, oil-packed tuna with capers, a sprinkle of feta cheese and baby spinach complete this delicious salad. Suzette’s Balsamic Vinaigrette is highly recommended. $18.50
	Salade Lyonnaise Historic Lyon inspires this salad that features steamed asparagus, hard boiled eggs, sliced potatoes with herbs, bacon and diced Comté cheese, housemade croutons and baby greens with plenty of arugula topped with a soft-poached egg. $18.50
	Salade Parisienne The real Tour de France ends in Paris, as does our list of French Composed Salads. This salad features boiled ham, slices of Comté cheese, wedges of hard-boiled eggs, sliced fresh mushrooms, boiled potatoes, tomatoes and lettuce. Our salad dressing of choice is Green Goddess, but it is your choice (see dressings, below). $17.50
	Salade Périgourdine Oh the Périgord. The land of duck, foie gras and truffles! Comfort food at its best. This beautiful composed salad has a slice of our housemade paté, slices of smoked duck breast, cornichons, a round of goat cheese on toasted baguette, red onion marmalade, walnuts and mixed baby greens. The dressing of choice is our housemade red wine vinegar with Dijon mustard, olive oil and walnut oil. $19.50
	Salade Dressings Choose from our savory dressings: » Suzette’s Balsamic Vinaigrette with Olive Oil » Green Goddess » Housemade Red Wine Vinegar with Walnut Oil » Yellow Tomato Vinaigrette
