DEL.ICIO.USVive la France!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A couple of restaurants have let me know about special menus for Bastille Day (for those of you who aren’t Francophiles, Bastille Day is French Independence Day celebrating the storming of the Bastille in 1789. It’s on July 14). Shaun’s is offering a “French-inspired” prix fixe menu with drink specials for $38. Expect pate with rabbit and sweetbreads, chicken paillard with arugula, tomatoes and lemon and for dessert — oo la la — profiteroles with chocolate ice cream and white chocolate sauce. 411: Saturday, July 14 at Shaun’s, 1029 Edgewood Ave., 404-577-4358, www.shaunsrestaurant.com. FAB is fabulously celebrating with a three-course prix fixe dinner for $45 per person. While slurping down a French 75 and languishing the lamb tenderloin with English cucumber sauce and ginger brunoise, you can listen to an accordionist and take in the red, white and blue-bedecked surroundings. Other goodies include filet mignon with potatoes dauphinoise and a chilled lychee soup with tropical fruit (how French is THAT?) French American Brasserie, 30 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd., 404-266-1440, www.fabatlanta.com. Is your restaurant going French for Bastille Day? Tell me about it.

Do you know of a restaurant in Atlanta that currently has Beef Wellington on the menu? We have been searching for a couple of weeks and haven’t had any luck. Have you come across any in your travels? Thanks.

How about Hell’s Kitchen? Seriously, maybe Nikolai’s Roof.
