About the French Bistro Classic Series

The Le Sud French Bistro Classic Series explores the regional cuisines and wine traditions that define French dining.

Each dinner highlights a different region of France through a carefully curated menu, wine pairings, and stories behind the food and culture.

Previous destinations have included Provence, with future dinners planned around other celebrated French culinary regions.

On Tuesday, July 14 at 6 PM, we travel to Normandy, a region celebrated for its coastal seafood, rich cream sauces, apple orchards, cider traditions, and timeless French comfort dishes.

Why Normandy?

Normandy is one of France's most beloved culinary regions, known for fresh seafood, rich cream sauces, apples, cider, and Calvados. This dinner highlights the flavors that have made Normandy a cornerstone of classic French cuisine.

This special edition of the French Bistro Classic Series coincides with Bastille Day, July 14th, France's national holiday.

About Normandy Cuisine

Located along France's northern coast, Normandy is known for its rich dairy traditions, fresh seafood, apples, cider, and Calvados. The region's cuisine reflects both the bounty of the sea and the abundance of local farms and orchards.

This menu was designed to showcase those classic Norman flavors through four thoughtfully prepared courses paired with wines and beverages selected to enhance the experience.


Normandy Menu

(Menu and wine selections subject to change based on availability)

First Course

Coquilles St. Jacques

Baked scallops, shallots, garlic, herbs, wine, cream, cheese, butter, and baguette.

One of France's most iconic seafood dishes, Coquilles St. Jacques combines delicate scallops with a rich, creamy sauce and crisp breadcrumb topping.

Wine Pairing

Chablis (Burgundy Chardonnay)

The bright acidity and mineral character of Chablis beautifully balance the richness of the scallops, butter, and cream while highlighting the natural sweetness of the seafood.

Second Course

Grilled Peaches, Cucumber & Shrimp Salad

Served with rosé vinaigrette.

This refreshing summer course combines grilled fruit, fresh cucumber, and shrimp with a bright vinaigrette inspired by the flavors of Southern France.

Wine Pairing

Provençal Rosé

Dry, crisp, and elegant, the rosé complements the sweetness of the peaches while enhancing the freshness of the shrimp and cucumber.

Entrée

Poulet à la Normande

Sliced cider-brined chicken with wild mushroom cream sauce.

This classic Norman preparation celebrates two of the region's most famous ingredients: apples and cream. The cider-brined chicken is paired with a rich mushroom sauce that captures the comforting flavors of French countryside cooking.

Pairing

Normandy Cider

A traditional pairing that reflects the region's deep connection to apples and cider-making. The cider's crisp fruit character enhances the savory richness of the dish while providing a truly authentic Norman experience.

Dessert

Mini Apple Tarte Tatin & Cheese

Served with French vanilla ice cream.

No Normandy-inspired dinner would be complete without apples. This classic French dessert features caramelized apples and flaky pastry, served alongside creamy vanilla ice cream and artisan cheese.

Pairing

Calvados Pommeau or Late Harvest Chenin Blanc

🍋 POULET RÔTI - Le Sud Roasted Chicken Recipe (A Taste of Provence at Home)

A classic French roasted chicken recipe from Le Sud, Poulet Roti with herbs de Provence, root vegetables, and a story of tradition and togetherness.

At Le Sud, some dishes go beyond the plate.

POULET RÔTI — our roasted chicken — is one of them.

It’s simple. Honest. Rooted in tradition.
And for our French Bistro Dinner, we wanted you to take a piece of that experience home.

That’s why each guest receives a jar of Herbes de Provence, the same blend we use in this dish, along with this recipe, so you can recreate the feeling in your own kitchen.

What is Poulet Roti?

“Poulet Roti” refers to a heritage French chicken known for its rich flavor, firm texture, and natural farming practices.

  • Air-chilled

  • Free-range

  • Vegetarian-fed

It’s a true symbol of Provençal cooking, where quality ingredients speak for themselves.

The Recipe: Poulet Roti – Le Sud Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

1. Whole Chicken - Serves 4

  • 1 medium whole organic chicken (≈ 2.75 lbs)

  • 2 tsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp Herbes de Provence

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (thyme or parsley optional)

Method

1. Prep the Chicken

Pat completely dry. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.

👉 For best results: dry-brine overnight uncovered in the fridge.

2. Build Flavor

Mix softened butter with garlic and rosemary.
Gently loosen the skin and spread butter underneath.

3. Stuff the Bird

Fill cavity with:

  • Lemon wedges

  • Garlic

  • Rosemary

(Optional: add onion or shallot for depth)

4. Prepare Vegetables

Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and garlic.
Add broth or wine to the pan.

5. Roast

  • Preheat oven to 425°F

  • Roast for 20 minutes

  • Reduce to 375°F and cook 45–55 minutes

👉 Target internal temperature: 165°F

6. Baste

Melt butter with garlic, Herbes de Provence, and pepper.
Baste every 20–25 minutes.

Finish with a splash of lemon juice.

7. Rest & Finish

  • Rest chicken 10–15 minutes

  • Return vegetables to oven at 425°F to crisp

✨ Chef’s Note

Use the pan drippings for a quick jus, deglaze with wine or broth, reduce, and strain.

Sandy Lavender Field

A Personal Story — From Sandy

Roasted chicken holds a special place in my heart, not just as a dish, but as a symbol of togetherness. It’s never just about the recipe. It’s about the care, the patience, and the intention behind it.

From seasoning the bird to achieving that perfectly crisp skin and tender meat, it reflects something deeper, something personal. The vegetables remind me of gathering fresh ingredients, making the meal feel even more connected to the moment. For me, this dish represents abundance and gratitude. It’s the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table. Where conversations flow, laughter fills the room, and time slows down.

At Le Sud, when we serve this dish, we’re not just serving food. We’re sharing a piece of that tradition with you.

Cheers,

Sandy Chen

Le Sud French Bistro Classics

A Taste of Provence

There’s something timeless about a French bistro meal, simple ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and flavors that transport you somewhere far away. At Le Sud, our latest dinner experience, French Bistro Classics – Provence, is inspired by the sun-soaked charm of Provence, where meals are unhurried, ingredients are seasonal, and every dish tells a story.

This four-course menu is a celebration of the Mediterranean spirit: bright, fresh, and deeply rooted in tradition.

A Menu Inspired by the South of France

Tomato & Burrata Provençal (April 28th Dinner)

We begin with a dish that captures the essence of Provençal cooking, ripe heirloom tomatoes, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of olive oil finished with fleur de sel. It’s light, vibrant, and sets the tone for the evening.

Lamb with Rosemary & Tapenade (April 28th Dinner)

Rich, savory, and unmistakably French. Our lamb chops are grilled and served with a bold olive tapenade and fragrant rosemary, balancing depth with brightness.

Lamb with Rosemary & Tapenade

Wood-Grilled Branzino

Lavender Crème Brûlée (April 28th Dinner)

To finish, a nod to Provence’s iconic lavender fields. This classic custard is infused with subtle floral notes and topped with a perfectly caramelized sugar crust, elegant, aromatic, and unforgettable.

Lavender Crème Brûlée

The Provence Experience

Dining in Provence isn’t just about the food—it’s about the feeling. It’s the warmth of the sun, the scent of herbs in the air, and the rhythm of a meal shared with others.

At Le Sud, we bring that experience to Chicago. From the glow of candlelight to the simplicity of each plate, every detail is designed to feel transportive, like a quiet evening somewhere along the Mediterranean coast.

Why We Love Bistro Cooking

French bistro cuisine is approachable yet refined. It’s not about complexity, it’s about doing simple things exceptionally well. Fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and dishes that feel both comforting and elevated.

This is the philosophy behind everything we do at Le Sud.

Join Us at the Table

Whether you’re discovering these flavors for the first time or reminiscing about travels through southern France, our French Bistro Classics dinner is meant to be shared, savored, and remembered.

Reserve your seat and experience a little bit of Provence, right here in the neighborhood.
