able to help raise awareness of the problem of hunger through Restaurant Week,”
said Andre Rochat, chef and owner, Andre’s and Alizé.  “Our guests can feel good knowing they are
not only enjoying a memorable meal at a great value, but also a portion of

amuse-bouche of Chilled Consommé of Spring Chicken with fresh turmeric followed
by Heirloom Tomato Salad with burrata cheese, caviar, melon and spring garlic

and natural jus; Berkshire Pork Duo with herb spaetzle, spring onion and
truffle jus; Scottish Salmon with jasmine rice, shrimp yellow curry and lemon
grass glaze; or Free-range Chicken with sweet corn and poblano ragoût with foie
gras mole.  Concluding the dinner will be
a dessert of Grilled White Peach served with almond milk sorbet and vanilla
bean jus.





Alizé offers a three-course
menu for Restaurant Week, starting with a choice of first course: chilled
potato and leek vichyssoise with summer truffles, chives and orange zest; Angus
beef carpaccio with watercress and parmesan cheese, basil pesto and toasted
baguette; or marinated heirloom tomato salad with cantaloupe, mozzarella cheese
and balsamic vinegar.  Guests will choose
from three main courses: sautéed Irish salmon with truffled potato puree, jumbo
green asparagus and Béarnaise sauce; braised beef short rib with gruyère potato
mousseline, sautéed spinach, braised shallots and pinot noir sauce; or
pan-seared chicken roulade with apricots and pistachio, roasted Idaho potato
galette, haricots verts, toasted almonds and truffle jus. Capping the meal will
