Escape from the Hustle and Bustle
You don’t need to venture across the ocean to experience Old World European charm and culinary excellence. Once inside, the simple elegance of the decor and candlelit ambiance makes for a charming destination to entertain business colleagues, or share an unforgettable meal with a loved one. And of course, step out to Le Panaché’s patio for a delightful way to dine alfresco in the warmer months.
Classic French Cuisine with a Twist!
From escargots in a deliciously rich Gorgonzola cream sauce, to the crisp mixed green salad with balsamic Dijon vinaigrette, the appetizers will tempt your palate and have you eagerly awaiting the entrées. It’s no secret that Le Panaché is noted for serving the best rack of lamb and duck in town. But with equally enticing selections like the stuffed breast of chicken with brie and tarragon in a flaky phylo pastry, savory orange roughy with spicy Basque sauce, and Alberta beef filet mignon in bordelaise sauce, you might have a hard time choosing.
La Crème de la Crème
Of course, it wouldn’t be a French café without something to satisfy the sweet tooth on the menu, so Le Panaché has pulled out the big guns for those of us who can’t say "no" to a little after-dinner extravagance. The traditional and delicious crème brûlée is a favourite classic. Or try the luscious dark chocolate mousse cake. Prefer something a little different? Why not choose an assortment of fine cheeses and a glass of wine from their extensive list to put the finishing touch on your meal.
