Take a culinary stroll down Boston’s South Street with a Progressive Dinner from sister restaurants Bel Ari and Les Zygomates. You’ll begin your meal with tastes of Italy via appetizers and a pasta course at Bel Ari, then move a few feet down the street to Les Zygamotes for a French entrée and dessert. You can see a sample of the menu from chef Robert Fathman below, available for $49 per person or $75 per person with expertly paired wines. The first dinner takes place on Thursday, November 12th at 6:00pm and they’ll recur on the second Thursday of every month after that. Call Les Zygomates at 617.542.5108 to reserve your seat(s).
