More Escargot Day Happenings

National Escargot Day is Tuesday, May 24th and as we posted yesterday, Bibou is hosting a delicious sounding meal. But it is hardly the only restaurant celebrating the gastropod.

Tuesday and Wednesday Bistrot La Minette is offering a four-course $35 menu with an optional wine pairing for $50. [Menu]

Matyson is doing a whole week of snails with their $45 weekly tasting menu being turned over to the delicacy. [Menu]
