The thrill of the hunt hits tables on Tuesday, November 3rd at Bistro du Midi’s first annual Game and Bordeaux dinner. Chef Robert Sisca shares his passion for game with a five-course menu celebrating everything from venison to squab to elk. Each dish was specially crafted for the occasion—like the roasted squab with goat’s milk feta, polenta, baby Brussels and espresso jus—and head sommelier Todd Lipman has hand-selected classified Bordeaux wine pairings to complement the seasonal flavors. The dinner begins at 6:00pm and costs $150 per person. Call 617.426.7878 to make a reservation.
