CLASSICAL MUSIC WITH FRENCH BISTRO CUISINE

AT VINCENT A RESTAURANT EVERY SUNDAY

THIS DECEMBER

Vincent Serves Up Cassoulet With A Side of Mozart

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Nov. 18, 2013 -- The soaring melodies of classical music by composers Mozart, Hayden, Vivaldi and Schubert will harmonize with contemporary French cuisine by chef Vincent Francoual, when his Vincent A Restaurant in downtown Minneapolis opens for four December nights of casual, classical music combined with French bistro dining.

Every Sunday this December (Dec. 1, 8, 15 and 22), the Nicollet Mall culinary landmark will offer Vincents French bistro menu from 5:00 9:00 p.m., with diners serenaded by a quartet of classical musicians that mingles members of the Minnesota Orchestra, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Minnesota Opera Orchestra. Among the dishes available during the four Sunday evenings: Vincents Cassoulet with tarbais beans, duck, garlic sausage and salted pork. And yes, he will be serving his Vincent Burger!

Since the sounds of Orchestra Hall have been temporarily stilled, were bringing the music of your favorite classical composers across the street into our dining room, says head chef and co-owner Vincent Francoual. Its a perfect casual evening for anyone wishing to celebrate the holidays with a taste of classical music.

Vincent A Restaurant is located at 1100 Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, across the street from Orchestra Hall. Valet parking will be available for the regular $6 fee. For reservations or more information on the Casual Classical Sunday bistro dinners this December at Vincent, call 612-630-1189 or visit Vincent A Restaurant online: www.vincentarestaurant.com.
