Cécile
Buffet - Drinks & Appetizers
Buffet must begin, like all meals, with an apéritif. Apéritif time will slowly slip towards the cocktail / buffet meal.

DRINKS

If you want to please and astonish, offer a glass of Champagne to your guests. You can replace it with our national Kir beverage if you wish, which becomes "royal" if you make
it with Champagne .

You should prepare as well one or two large cocktails like a Sangria and a Punch which are usually very popular. Prepare them in a huge salad bowl which will be displayed on the table and leave a laddle in it so that everybody can serve themselves during the party.

In any case, you need to be able to offer all classic alcohols (whisky, gin, martini…) as well as some fortified wines (Porto, Muscadet) and juices.

APPETIZERS

This time you can leave some chips and peanuts on the table before everybody has arrived.

You have of course all type of other solutions, and let's remember the ones of our traditional dinner section :

- Vegetables : you can use cherry olives, sticks of carrots and cucumbers, pieces of califlower or radish ; it is quiet quick to prepare them and you can easily cook some French dips for them.

- Various Others : crab sticks, dry sausage, cheese cubes, olives…
