Le Coude Rouge receives commemorative plate for participating in EU Cuisine 2014

MANILA, Philippines- The festivity continues!

Even as the European Union Cuisine 2014 officially opened last May, participating restaurants continue presenting wines, dishes, and cooking lessons that best show the European countries' love for fine stuff.

One of the new participating restaurants, Alliance Francaise de Manille's Le Coude Rouge restaurant has just received its commemorative plate.

“This is the first time that Le Coude Rouge has joined the European Union Cuisine, and we are very honored to be part of this festival,” Alliance Francaise de Manille Director Patrick Deyvant said.

Le Coude Rouge was first established to cater the Alliance Francaise de Manille's employees and students appetite for French and Filipino dishes in one place. But eventually, the restaurant was opened for anyone who are craving for French cuisines.

Aside from the food, the restaurant also boasts of fine wines best paired with meals and best consumed with friends and family.

“This is a celebration, a gastronomic celebration,” European Union Delegate to the Philippines Julian Vassallo said. “This is when we share our love for fine things in life, good food, good wine, and good company.”

Being part of this year's festival, Le Coude Rouge partners with Manila-Wine.com as they hold a special wine tasting class at lunch and dinner on June 14 and 26, respectively.

Alliance Francaise de Manille will also have a screening of European culinary-themed movies on all Wednesdays of the month of June at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Other participating restaurants will celebrate the season with special menus, cooking lessons and culinary demonstrations, wine classes, gastronomic movies, quizzes, as well as flamenco and guitar nights which will last until the end of June.
